The art of marquetry (inlaid wood) became known many centuries ago. However, despite one hundred years, it has not lost its relevance,giving the world the astounding rolling around in its beauty items that will beautify perhaps the royal chambers. The fact the spot is themarquetry on the modern art market, the portal AuctionLot said Nikolai Serov, a famous Russian master of order marquetry bed.

- Please tell us a little of you and just how you will get began in a rare form of art - marquetry.

- I had been born in Sokol, Vologda region, our kids has long been creative individuals. Based on the stories of his father, mygrandfather, who died in front in 1943 in Leningrad, he was obviously a famous cabinetmaker. A grandmother was involved in lace(weaving Vologda lace) and was considered among the masters in the industry the most effective. Her works were for export only. Myfather - also comprehensively developed personality about him said: Master golden hands

My adoration for a variety of applied art began during his school years: woodcut, relief carving, geometrical carving, chasing, - it had been interesting. However a really strong impression on me the picture I saw, came once to visit a buddy. It had been a small operation onRussian folk tales, carved from components of different types of wood and composed as being a mosaic, within a unit. I quickly was surprised, wherever possible, using only natural wood devoid of the colors, make the game of color and texture to select ??? Only years later Ilearned that it was my first encounter with marquetry style. Gone will be the years and decades is usually to learn this art and master it toperfection.

- Earlier in Russia could order items with marquetry only loaded people, today the situation has changed or wooden inlay isstill only available for the elite?

- Indeed, before such products in tsarist Russia can afford only loaded people - Count Sheremetev, Golitsyn, Tsar AlexeiMikhailovich and also the court nobility. I think that today the problem have not changed. True inlay available remains to be only the elite, butnew technologies allow to produce simplified varieties of marquetry, but they're far inferior to manual work. No doubt that theproduct wear stream, will not be the masterpieces with the highest level.

- As you know, the bradenton area received the greatest flowering of art in Europe differs from a Russian school of marquetry fromWestern European?

- Progression of the Russian school of marquetry was closely from the continuing development of this art in different Europeancountries. Teachers of Russian masters were outstanding artists of Italy, France, Holland. This, i think, is a result of having less a unified style, some sort of layering, which was the hallmark on this form of art in Russia. We were in a position to take in the very best of the setand create something of the diversity.

- In tsarist Russia unit is only able to handle marquetry, this type of art require special knowledge and talent. How many artists today,capable to create masterpieces out of wood?

- Thus far, the masters, in a position to create masterpieces of wood - one, since this type of art requires perseverance, attention,expertise in the different type of trees, the experience of taste, style and ability to get a tree colored, texture. Specialists, whoare fond of marquetry may be called from the names of everybody that is considered an experienced in this instance. Each master their ownstyle, its personality.

- So far as today, popular products, manufactured in the appearance of marquetry? In fact, they're a lot more like the traditions of bygone centuriesand poorly coupled with modern design.
