專家說明

The technique of inlaying tortoiseshell with mother-of-pearl, gold and silver probably originated in Naples towards the end of the 16th Century and, judging by the number of contemporary references to the Neapolitan piqué work and surviving pieces bearing the signatures of Neapolitan craftsmen, Naples appears to have remained the centre of production, certainly until the eighteenth Century.
