Great looking inlay

Took my kids to the Walters Art Museum today. This is from a cabinet from the 1700s in Europe. Was really impressed with the inlay pattern.

Someone certainly knew how to make things look 3 dimensional . Thank you for showing it .

A master definitely created those. Interesting how the second pic has the inlay on an raised/angled piece.

Yeah. Doing the angled inlay is pretty impressive. The artisan must have created the inlay flat then cut a compound miter.

Wow. Definitely there was great craftsmanship using hand tools back in those days.
