Story of the piece

Hoopoe Panel

Wood reveals what time does not erase.

The Hoopoe sings as if sharing ancient secrets, invisible to the eyes. And when it pauses, motionless on a branch, it leaves the impression that freedom has its own colour, shape and rhythm.

Jacky Cavallari graduated from the École Boulle and is today one of the few living masters of Marquetry - the art that brings colour, texture and life to wood. With the precision that time does not hasten.

For this Walnut panel, the craftsman selected twenty-five woods, such as maple, sycamore, ebony, black-stained tulipwood, and with them, composed the Hoopoe. Veneer upon veneer, using the same Traditional Marquetry technique employed in the 18th century.

A panel that evokes exotic beauty and mystery.
