Tunbridge Ware

Tunbridge Ware describes a form of inlaid woodwork originating from the spa town of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England.

The decoration is typically a mosaic of very small pieces of different coloured woods used to create a pictorial vignette. It was fashionable during the 18th and 19th centuries and examples can be seen in the Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art gallery.
