Dyed Veneers are thin sheets of natural wood that have been coloured using specialist dyes before being applied to furniture and decorative objects. Popular during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, dyed veneers enabled cabinet makers to create intricate marquetry, pictorial inlays and decorative geometric patterns using a wide range of colours. Antique examples demonstrate remarkable craftsmanship and artistic ingenuity. *Related Terms*\ Cabinet Making, Inlay, Marquetry, Veneer, Wood Veneer.
