Richard Maier is a master of the art of scrimshaw engraving and his work can be found in the vaults of the world's elite. This centuriesold technique, once practiced by whalers, finds a new flowering in the hands of Richard.

His engravings, inspired by the wildness and beauty of nature, enhance not only traditional materials such as bone, ivory or horn, but also modern objects such as knives, hunting rifles and even penholders.

Through precise craftsmanship and the skillful use of modern instruments, filigree works of art are created in the smallest of spaces, delighting collectors and art lovers alike.
