Original artwork description:

The “Tallis & Vesper” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde captures the poetic intimacy of a kiss, an enduring symbol of connection and quiet intensity. The flowing contours of the design and the interplay of natural materials evoke a profound sense of balance and harmony. Crafted using the deep, earthy tones of American Black Walnut, the golden warmth of European Oak, and the luminous glow of Copper, this piece merges organic forms with contemporary elegance. Each material enriches the composition, creating a visual dialogue that invites contemplation.

Marquetry, the timeless art of assembling wood veneers into intricate designs, finds renewed expression in “Tallis & Vesper.” Each element is carefully cut, bonded, and polished to reveal the unique textures and tones of the materials. A shellac finish amplifies their depth and character, while a light wax polish ensures a refined surface. The design’s quiet sophistication and fluid lines encourage the viewer to linger, exploring its layers of form and meaning.

Each marquetry piece by Troy Hyde is a one-of-a-kind creation, complete with a signed and stamped certificate of authenticity. “Tallis & Vesper” is presented within a lime wood frame that creates a floating effect, enhancing its understated elegance. The frame’s natural grain complements the artwork’s organic composition, while the premium presentation box adds a final touch of refinement, making it a compelling addition to any collection.
