Inlaid Marquetry Wood Panel Still Life with Vase and Flowers

This item is a square inlaid wood marquetry wall art panel depicting a floral still life. The central composition features a detailed bouquet of various flowers, including what appear to be chrysanthemums and dahlias, arranged in a rounded vase adorned with a bird-on-branch motif. The piece utilizes several types of wood veneers in varying tones—ranging from pale blonde to deep chocolate brown—to create shading, depth, and texture through the natural grain of the wood. The central artwork is inset within a larger wood-grain panel background and finished with a matching light-oak toned outer frame. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century European or American decorative arts, specifically consistent with the craft revival of the 1970s. The craftsmanship displays fine detail in the petal shapes and the intricate bird design on the vase. Condition appears fair to good based on visual inspection; the wood surface retains a soft luster, though age-related darkening of the finish and fine surface scratches are expected. There are no obvious signs of major missing veneer pieces or warping visible in the provided image. The framing appears consistent with the period and remains sturdy.
