The National Exhibition 1978

This edition brings you the award winning exhibits from the 1978 National Marquetry Exhibition which was held at the prestigious South London Art Gallery.

Located in the Peckham Road, South London, this venue had the real advantages of wonderful natural illumination and display heights of between 3 and 6 feet (0.9 to 1.8 metres). It proved to be a very successful exhibition and attracted scores of new members for the Marquetry Society.


This rare photo shows two of the 1978 stewards enjoying
a quiet moment (a rare event indeed!!) 

So now, for you to enjoy, here are a selection from the 1978 National Marquetry Exhibition:
