What is Straw Marquetry Picture?
Flattened straw strips change direction in fans and herringbone arrangements, turning their silky reflections from region to region. Volume comes from one golden material reflecting at different angles rather than added thickness.
Straw marquetry uses directional sheen to create tonal differences within similar-colored pieces.
A flat disc assembled radially can seem modeled as successive sectors catch the light.
