Description
Straw marquetry wall hanging.
Sure, if you have Robertson heritage then this piece will hold a lot of meaning for you, but really, it's all about the colors, pattern, texture and sheen on the straw marquetry.
Fun fact: straw marquetry is very new to Australia but it has been in Europe for centuries. It was once considered the 'poor man's gold' because of its luminous qualities and being a natural material.
Straw has a layer of silica and it is this layer that gives the straw its natural sheen. The placement of the straw helps to highlight the sheen.
It's a slow craft but the results are worth it.
