Definition
An ornamental technique involving inlaying metal or stone into a surface for decorative effect.
Etymology
From French égaliser meaning 'to equalize' combined with Old French -tere (place of work), though the exact path is debated. The word describes a craft where materials are made equal in height or prominence on a surface.
Kelly Says
Eglaterework is nearly lost, but Michelangelo and Renaissance craftsmen used similar inlay techniques to create those jaw-dropping floor patterns you see in Italian cathedrals—tiny pieces of marble fitted perfectly together like a jigsaw puzzle.
