The marquetry miniaturist

  • • Rose specialised in multi-material marquetry
  • • She graduated as a cabinet maker
  • • She defines her work as a decor

Rose Saneuil has only one limitation: her imagination. The French craftswoman masters the art of marquetry, and more precisely multi-material marquetry. A special technique that she created to be able to use different materials, and which is now officially registered. Walnut burl, mother-of-pearl, leather, gold leaf, brass... She finds through her meticulous gesture the perfect alchemy of elements. In addition to the paintings, cases or jewelllery she creates, Rose collaborates with prestigious clients in the luxury industry, including Davidoff and Piaget. For the watchmaking brand, she has imagined several High Jewellery pieces and watch dials, which alone illustrate the virtuosity of her work.
