About the Item

A pair of André-Charles Boulle (style) cabinets, circa 1860-1870 A pair of cabinets in the style of André-Charles Boulle. They are of mahogany with tortoiseshell (turtleshell) marquetry and beautifully applied gilt bronze ormolu mounts, handles and decoration, including to the sides. There is a single key, which locks both cabinets securely. A sculpted black marble top creates elegance to these striking pieces, circa 1860-1870. The furniture of André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) was so highly regarded, that it was collected by art connoisseurs even during his life-time. Its popularity has continued ever since, such that we now use his name to describe any piece of furniture which is made using this characteristic ebony-mounted turtleshell and brass marquetry veneer; it is called 'boulle marquetry.' His pieces were finished off with the addition of sculptural mounts made of gilt bronze, which highlighted the corners, feet, keyholes, handles and even provided central features on certain pieces. It is particularly these mounts, often of classical imagery, that added grandeur to Boulle's furniture and turned utilitarian objects into works of art. One cabinet is slightly taller than the other, being 110cm as opposed to the other at 108cm. Both are 115cm long. They do vary again in depth, one being 40cm with the other 43cm (but sold as a pair, we will not separate) There is a single mahogany shelf to both pieces with a mahogany interior. In very good condition for its age. We have had the hair-line scratches polished out of the black marble and a small amount of chipping to the back edge has been restored. They are fabulous to look at.
