About the Item
Brass and tortoiseshell inlaid Boulle style ebonised wood cabinets
French, late 19th Century
Height 142cm, width 127.5cm, depth 49.5cm
The magnificent cabinets in this pair are crafted in the style of André-Charles Boulle, an ébéniste who worked under King Louis XIV of France, and whose very name has come to symbolise an entire style and period in the history of furniture.
Each cabinet is of rectangular form, with a surmounting marble plateau above an ormolu mounted entablature, all above twin cabinet doors. The doors are profusely inlaid with scrolling floral brass and tortoiseshell marquetry in the manner of Boulle, while the lower sections of the doors feature ornate ormolu mounts and further geometrical marquetry inlays. The sides of the cabinets are similarly decorated, each finished with brass inlays and mounted with an ormolu foliate wreath. The cabinets are supported above a protruding shaped apron mounted with ormolu and raised by four toupie feet.

- Cabinet 19th Century, Napoleon III Period, Style BoulleBy André-Charles BoulleLocated in Warsaw, PLThis wooden cabinet is designed in the Boulle style. This style was very popular around the time of Napoleon III. The characteristic of this style is the use of small pieces of wood in furniture, inlaid designs with many different materials: precious wood, precious stones, enamel, ivory, seashells, metal, marble etc. In addition, to express the royal style, the "Boulle" style also uses a large amount of gilded copper on the furniture, such as tiger claw decoration, mirror border decoration, leaf decoration, etc. The main elementsof this cabinet is ebony and turtle shell, with decorative details and gilded legs. This is a pretty prominent highlight in the overall black and gold color scheme. Moreover, the head of a woman is in the middle of the cabinet with waves in her hair and grape vines could be representing the Greek goddes of spring Spring. Surrounding the head are beautiful acanthus motifs incorporated in every layer and surface of the cabinet. Symmetricallly on the left and right side of the head are two identical faces, with one being the lock of the cabinet where key goes. The four corners of the cabinet have blooming carnations to create a feeling of spring coming. The details are collaged, decorated with golden bronze leaves in a classic French style. On the edges of the cabinet are sculptures of two women wrapped around with cloth and leaves. Through it, the author highlights the beauty of the woman's status in the past. On the side panels of the cabinet is placed a gilded face of a man with wings...Category
