Story of the piece

Ginkgo Biloba Panel

The wood reveals what time does not erase.


The Ginkgo Biloba has spanned centuries. It is a symbol of longevity, resilience and hope. Its leaves open as if guarding time, showing us an autumnal gold, a beauty that endures.

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 Purpleheart panel, the craftsman chose four natural woods, such as Ipê, Guava, Fraké (Limba) and Maple, and with them, composed the fan of the Ginkgo Biloba. Veneer upon veneer, with the same traditional marquetry technique used in the 18th century.

A panel to remind us of the value of what withstands time.
