WOODEN MARQUETRY

Rolo

Wood is one of the most used materials by pre-industrial societies. Among wood-inspired arts, cabinet-making is to be mentioned with its marquetry techniques. In Italy, Rolo-based shops have given an important drive to the creation of wooden artefacts with refined decorations in the past three centuries.
In Rolo are several shops dedicated to the production, restoration and marketing of marquetry furniture. Their brands are "tarsia di Rolo" ("Rolo marquetry") and "tarsia tradizionale di Rolo" ("Rolo traditional marquetry").
