The “Thistle” marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde captures the essence of the human form through elegant, minimalist shapes. This artwork juxtaposes the rich hues of Coloured Dark Green Tulipwood, Sapele Crown, and Burr Ash, creating a harmonious visual experience. The natural wood grain, hand-cut and inlaid with precision, adds layers of texture and depth, drawing the viewer into its detailed design.

Marquetry, the centuries-old technique of inlaying wood veneer to create intricate patterns, is celebrated in “Thistle.” Each piece of wood is meticulously cut, glued, finished with shellac, and lightly wax polished, ensuring both durability and a refined finish. “Thistle” captures the viewer's imagination with its flowing lines and bold shapes. The simplified forms invite the viewer to construct the image in their mind's eye, engaging them in an active dialogue with the artwork.

Each marquetry art piece by Troy Hyde is a unique creation, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, signed and stamped by the artist. Displayed within its stylish lime wood frame, “Thistle” is designed with a floating effect that enhances its visual appeal. The frame's natural grain complements the artwork, creating a harmonious balance between the materials and the artistic expression. For added elegance and protection, “Thistle” comes packaged in a presentation box, making it perfect for gifting or storage.
