What is wooden mosaic and inlaid mother-of-pearl?

The art of wooden mosaic involves combining different types of wood; walnut, beech, lemon, olive, rose, mahogany, and other trees. Cutting these pieces into linear segments creates geometric heads of each piece. In an artistic order, the brand combines these pieces to create one thick beautiful head. The thick piece of wood is cut horizontally into round slices. These slices are inlaid on the product, giving it a unique appearance. Additionally, inlays of mother-of-pearl, silver, and brass cords embellish these items. Mother-of-pearl is hand-cut and matched piece by piece and elegantly inlaid on the items, allowing the shine and depth of the mother-of-pearl to be seen and felt. HELENA WOOD ART products stand out with the combination of natural walnut wood and traditional oriental decor. All these handicrafts are designed to enhance and showcase Helena's products to the world.
