Harold Hall
Marquetry
This started for me because of a desire to screen a fire place that was rarely used and so a kit of parts (design sheet and veneers) was purchased, and for a first off attempt a reasonable fire screen resulted. Having made a few others, mostly to my own design, that have been given to friends I still have four examples on our walls. Three, "George", "Harry" and the "Old Curiosity Shop" are made from commercial designs.


The Christmas card and the marquetry that it inspired.
Harry
George
The Old Curiosity Shop
The fourth was as the result of receiving a Christmas card that I felt could be the basis of a design to complement the "Old Curiosity Shop" and so I set about producing my own version of this.
