The art of marquetry with semi-precious stones started in Florence at the end of the XVI century. At that time floors and walls were covered with mosaics of semi-precious stones. Pieces of the semi-precious stones of various colors were cut with precision and still provide the geometric decorations ( The Medici Chapel in Florence). The precision with which the different pieces of stone are arranged side by side is comparable to the best wood marquetry The richness of color is far superior and is perfectly hard wearing over time.
