Applied Wood Carvings
In the 17th century, a period of prosperity gave way to the baroque and rococo
styles. It was during this period that onlay wood carvings, which are types of
pierced wood carvings, extensively were used to beautify furniture, interior
objects and various architectural forms. When forged by the hands of a master
craftsman, the charm and character of carved wood is unequaled.
An applied wood carving is a carving design that is cut out, and often pierced.
Onlays are carved separately from the ground. Onlays are, in effect, pierced
carvings that are applied to a background. In pierced carving there is no
background, as it has been cut away. These Center wood carvings with grapevine
motif and grape clusters are an example of the pierced wood carving.
Onlays are designed to be mounted to another surface, such as onto cabinet
doors, fireplace mantels, walls, or other wood surfaces. These beautiful
grape clusters wood carvings are a great example of onlays. When this type of wood
carving is applied onto another wooden surface, the desired result is to give
the same appearance as that of a relief wood carving.
Wood carvings carved in a deep relief, make a strong visual impact through the shadows produced by the
greater depth. When applied on a wood background of contrasting color, carved
wood onlays give a dramatic effect.
Most of the wood carvings on our website are
furniture or cabinets onlays: they may be fixed to a wall or backing board,
often in multiple layers. This method of applying wood onlays is advantageous;
as it may conserve materials, facilitate undercutting, and make for a more
practical installation.
