Vintage Hudson River Wood Marquetry Inlay Lighthouse Picture

Vintage Hudson River Wood Marquetry Inlay Lighthouse Picture. This piece has an estimated age of 1970 to 1980 and as with all Hudson River pieces this is beautiful hand made piece. The creation of an exclusive Hudson River Inlay begins first with a rough sketch by the artist. The next step is to capture the essence of the subject with just a few subtle lines that convey its motion and vitality. The result is a final line drawing that individual piece of art. Next, the woods are carefully selected to provide our artist with his pallette, with an eye to the natural grains and hues of the veneers that will give warmth and subtle shading in the finished work. The veneers are precision cut, then assembled and finished by hand to form the one-of-a kind wood image. The result is a masterful piece of marquetry art of unmatched beauty and elegance. This picture features a lighthouse on a cliff with the waves breaking against the cliff, three seagulls fly over the lighthouse and a fourth seagull is perched on a ledge across from the lighthouse. This framed size of this picture is 12 3/4" by 9 3/4", a bit larger in size then most of the Hudson Valley pictures that are normally seen, signed Nelson in the lower right corner, the back of the picture has the above history with a guide as to the types of wood in the picture and a pamphlet with the history of the company attached along with care instructions. It is in excellent condition and would be a wonderful addition to your decor or collection. Please see our other listings for additional Hudson River pictures.
