marquetería o taracea

They are both defined by the translator as "inlaid work", yet they were used side by side in a sentence: "...los trabajos de marquetería y de taracea." Is there a distinction between the two? If not, why would they be used in what seems to be a redundant manner?

From Wikipedia:
La marquetería difiere de las taraceas, siendo esta una técnica castellana de tallado e incrustado muy similar, aunque siendo más dispar en el uso de elementos y no tan enfocada en la madera como la marquetería.
Taracea can involve other materials besides wood, such as enamel, shell, etc. Marquetería is almost exclusively woodwork.
