Original artwork description:

The “Cecilia” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde exudes a refined elegance, inspired by the grace and strength of the feminine form. This artwork harmonises the deep, luxurious tones of Ebony Macassar with the warm, reddish-brown hues of Sapele Crown Cut and the golden lustre of Yew. The combination of these rich, natural wood grains creates a sophisticated and timeless visual experience. Each element, meticulously hand-cut and inlaid with precision, captures the viewer's attention, inviting them to appreciate the intricate design and the inherent beauty of the materials.

Marquetry, a revered craft of inlaying wood veneer to create detailed patterns, is beautifully executed in “Cecilia.” Each piece of wood is carefully cut, glued, finished with shellac, and lightly wax polished to ensure both durability and a lustrous finish. “Cecilia” enchants with its smooth, flowing lines and elegant contrasts, inviting the viewer to explore the subtle interplay of materials and forms. The design embodies both strength and delicacy, evoking a quiet yet powerful dialogue with the artwork.

Each marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde is a unique creation, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed and stamped by the artist. Displayed within a sleek lime wood frame, “Cecilia” is designed with a floating effect that enhances its graceful presence. The frame’s natural grain complements the artwork, creating a harmonious balance between the materials and the artistic expression. “Cecilia” is packaged in a presentation box for added sophistication and protection, making it an ideal choice for gifting or storage.
