The Industry of InIaying II Ia Pr
cfous woods.


The Industry of InIayins II Ia Pre-
cious Woods.
The sole curiosity for sightseers in
the city of Hanoi. town Of the French
Tonqulu, Is the industry Of inlaying
mother of pearl in precious woods In
fact, one street, called the Street of the
Inlayers, Is given up to the trade. The
workmen are genuine artists combin-
ing artistic perception with great man
nal skill Furnished with rude tools,
but with great patience and skill, these
workmen produce articles OF great
beauty. They have applied the princl-
Pile of division of labor, or Specialize
ton, to their work. The cabinet max
ers first put together the various parts
Of the materials to be incrusted. The
Joining is done without the aid of nails
and with n nice system of dovetailing
and Use of paste, OF which lacquer Is
the base. From this cabinet maker the
wood passes into the hands of the de
signer who makes sketches for It's or
namentatlon on rice paper.
These designs are transferred to the
wood by the inlayer. whose duty ii is
to choose the pearl that will best serve
to bring out the beauty of the design.
The mother of pearl is obtained from n
large species of shelldsh. called caslue,
caught chiefly upon the shores of the
island of Foulocondar
The inlayer cuts the pieces of pearl
into little bits and chooses the combl
nation of colOrs which win make the
contrast necessary for the artistic sue
cess of his work. The lridescence is
heightened by the use of pearl dust
furnished by kind of mussel taken
from the brooks of that region. When
the bits of mosaic are chosen the in-
layer tries to give them the form of the
design chosen and dlsposes them as
mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel
ls made translucent by pumice stone.
The pearl is then fixed in wise. and
the labor of patience begins. Kneclng
before the wise, he shapes the pieces
with file no larger than an ordinary
color crayon. When the pearl is shaped
IL Is necessary to trench 1t IN the weed
This is ordinarily done by children
fourteen or fifteen years Old The bits
of pearl are then set In the grooves
and fixed with paste The whole is
gently heated to melt the paste and SO
fill the intcrstices The design is then
polished. vanished and given the fin
ishing touches. The work has been
counterfeited, but never successfully.
