Then cedar was used for the manufacture of chests, boxes, furniture, which could be left in the natural state, varnished or painted. At the end of the 19th century, some marquetry artists from Salé joined Essaouira, bringing with them their centuries-old traditions of marquetry and inlays of patterns most often geometric in ivory or ebene for the oldest, in mother-of-pearl, sometimes in silver threads and now more commonly in lemon wood.
