Presents to Pique your Interest – December 2023

4th January 2024

December is here with Christmas just around the corner. If you are still looking for last minute inspiration – how about a delightful piqué work piece to pique the interest? Piqué work, from the French for pierced (also pronounced pique), is identified by the presence of metals, usually gold and silver, set into materials such as tortoiseshell or ivory. (A CITES licence may be required for export.)
