Marquetry Table, Showing Style c. 1937

Geoffrey Holt’s watercolor design for a Marquetry Table from 1937 exemplifies the artist's interest in both intricate detail and grand scale. The table's elegant, cabriole legs and intricate marquetry top, a technique of inlaying wood veneers to create patterns, point to the influence of 18th-century design. The subtle variations in color and texture create a sense of depth and richness, capturing the beauty of the marquetry process. Holt’s watercolor design serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic furniture design and the meticulous artistry of marquetry.
