Dent, a distinguished collector and expert in the field, this volume provides a comprehensive study of the art of decorating materials such as tortoiseshell and ivory with delicate inlays of gold and silver. This specialized technique, which flourished during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, represents a unique intersection of craftsmanship and luxury.The work examines the historical development of pique, tracing its evolution from its early French origins through the various stylistic shifts of the Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI periods, as well as its adoption and adaptation by English artisans.
