National Exhibitions of the 1950's

The photos on this page are all from the National Exhibitions and other main exhibitions run by the Marquetry Society.
It is interesting to note the high quality of the marquetry work - it has generally been considered that the early works were probably less detailed than today's fantastic pictures, but we think that you will be surprised when you look at these works - they are extremely good pieces.
