Handcrafted Marquetry pattern, framed. Only natural veneers used-for example: Loop Walnut, Figured Walnut, Light Walnut, American Walnut , Zibrano, Sycamore, Maple, Yew, Teck, Light, Dark and Red Mahogany, Dibetu, Stake, Ebony, Mansonia, etc.
I made it for sale for only 300 $ + transportation
It is 45 X 46 cm / 18,5 X 19 inch
It has special varnish coat, polished by hand, a lot of work!!!

a lot of work indeed!!! I can’t imagine the patience and steady hand abilities that are needed.

the reflection in the water is really done well

Tanks guys for the appreciation…sorry I didn’t count exactly how many hours I worked on this but it is a couple of weeks all day long.
I dare you folks to say a price, how much would you ask for this If it was your work???
Unfortunately I can’t find customers for my works I don’t know where to sell.

First off I would consider any frame to be worth $100 at least if it has been professionally done by a frame shop or by yourself. I don’t know anything about this type of art but I would not sell for less than $350.00 but this is all a guess. I think I’d sell this in the $500/$600 range plus transportation.

I have the same problem I don’t know how to go about finding ways to sell my work.

I think your work is beautiful, the reflection in the water is clearly that and well done.

I’d like to hear the story on this work, how you came up with the subject and how you learned this form of art and so on.
