One of a Kind Gold Straw Marquetry Coffee Side Table, France
About the Item
One of a kind coffee side table gold sun in gold straw marquetry and waxed stainless steel base. Handmade creation by the artist using ancient techniques.
Straw and marquetry – Matter and technique:
As early as the 17th century straw marquetry is used in furniture, bimbeloterie, the
twentieth is added interior decoration. A marquetry is a veneer on a support with a
collage edge to edge The straw is split to the nail, then crushed with a wooden pliers
and glued. The straw has a silica varnish of its own, which makes it all the interest,
both in terms of light in terms of resistance and impermeability.
The material is today mainly rye straw, which the grain grower cultivates for chairs
and stubble roofs. These are old seeds that grow up to 2.3 m tall. It can be plated on
different media depending on the achievements.
The crops are grown in France, the rye is mown mechanically, the stalks dry on the
field and then each strand is cut by hand between the two nodes of the top.
It is most often the cereal who makes the colors, by immersion in baths, with dye,
and salt to fix (the straw is cooked at least 1:30 depending on the result you want to
get). The grain can dye up to 50 kg at a time and is equipped with dryers to allow the
straw to dry in the best conditions. The colors are infinite apart from the white that
can not be made since the natural straw is yellow. If the technique is mastered, the
material remains "alive" so the same recipe does not give the same results
depending on the harvest.
The straw is glued with glue according to the support on which it must hold. In
general wood glue (solvent-free, non-flammable)
There is no size limit to a straw marquetry creation. A marquetry is a veneer with an
edge-to-edge bonding which induces "joints" of the "joints".
The material is soft, smooth, sensual and extremely bright. It is also impervious, rot-
proof, solid and inert with time. It is thanks to the natural varnish of silica which
composes it.
The colors are random but infinite. The color of a stem is often very nuanced on
either side of its length. White does not exist, the natural color being slightly yellow.
There is a general no waxing or other primer, the material to such brilliance that it is
rarely worthwhile to extinguish it.
However it is possible to skate the straw with metallized polishes, and I sometimes
use on the tables, a wax made from carnauba (natural wax with strong hardening
power) which ensures a better resistance: notably improves the hardness of the
support and the 'impermeability.
The material once plated is not flammable (fire tests were carried out on the occasion
of a straw marquetry in a large hotel)
The only true fragility of straw is UV. Bright colors, if subjected to direct sunlight, can
deteriorate or change shades.
