This book will answer all your questions about shagreen , a mysterious material , a forgotten technique :
What is the stingray called? Where does it come from? Why this name? By what techniques is it implemented?
This book will establish the true origin of this "shark" skin and hunt down the last workshop secrets before they fall into oblivion, such is the ambition of the author.
Today, the word shagreen above all evokes "Art Deco" furniture. The best cabinetmakers of the interwar period exalted its decorative resources with genius and virtuosity before disappearing.
The author has perfectly explained the sudden and surprising disappearance of the stingray, shortly before the last war.
Shagreen seems to be arousing the interest of artisans and decorators once again.
