Eger cabinets and boxes differ considerably from all other cabinets and boxes in that they were carved in low relief and constructed from different coloured woods. Traditionally, this art was carried on in the same family, one of the most well known was the Eck family - Peter Eck (b.1538) travelled from Nurnberg to Eger as a journeyman apprentice, he also was known as a sculptor. It was, however, his grandson, Adam (1604-1664), who was renowned as an artist-carver. Another leading practitioner was Johann Georg Fischer (1587-1669) his work filled the Kunstkammer of the Saxon Electoral Princes, one of which is the Grune Gewolbe in Dresden. Intarsia on these boxes was built up in layers of various types of wood, the carcass was of a conifer, such as spruce, pine or fir. For the flat intarsia, usually mahogany, walnut and maple were used and, for the relief, boxwood, elm or ash, poplar and burr walnut, were also used for the effect they would have visually. Wood with not much grain was used for representing the sky and water, whereas wood which was cut so that the grain was distorted was best for highly figured veneers representing silk, for example, in representations of allegorical personifications.
