Marquetries
The marquetries were originally ordered by an Archbishop in Paris. The artist made duplicate panels and sliced each marquetrie into two layers, making two sets. One set is now in the church of the Sacre Coeur in Paris, and the other was discovered by Bishop Wright in an antique shop in New York. He purchased them and gave them as a gift to Christ the King Church.
