Marquetry Wood Inlay Plaque

A mid-20th-century decorative marquetry plaque depicting a coastal landscape. The composition is constructed from various wood veneers inlaid onto a wooden panel support, featuring a gabled cottage on a shore, several small boats, and distant mountains. The artist has utilised the natural grain and tonal variations of different woods to define the scene, including textured grain for the cottage roof and dark-toned veneers for the water. The panel is finished with a clear high-gloss lacquer. The verso is fitted with a wire hanging system. Faint, illegible characters are present in the lower right corner. Condition: The plaque is in good overall condition. There is a visible vertical split or join line in the veneer of the cottage roof. The high-gloss finish exhibits minor surface abrasions and fine scratches consistent with age. The wood inlay appears stable throughout.
