ANDRÉ-CHARLES BOULLE (1642-1732)
king's cabinetmaker
Designated to the king by Colbert as "the most skilful in his trade", Boulle designed a large number of bronze and marquetry pieces, making him the first great cabinetmaker of 17th-18th-century French furniture. The creativity and richness of his furniture contributed to Versailles' reputation in this field.
From 1672 onwards, Boulle designed all kinds of furniture for Louis XIV, his family and the Court, and his name is inseparable from the copper and tortoiseshell marquetry that made him such a success: the famous "Boulle marquetry". Although he was not the inventor, he created a new process for cutting the same motif from these two materials. The result is two panels: the "part" and the "counterpart". The first is copper on tortoiseshell, the second tortoiseshell on copper. In 1684-1692, the Grand Dauphin commissioned Boulle marquetry for the panelling and parquet flooring in his Versailles cabinet, which disappeared in the 18th century.
Another major Boulle innovation was to apply bronzes to his furniture to protect the most sensitive parts. Mascarons, claws, friezes, foliage... invade consoles, desks and cabinets. Bronzes are also found on clocks, cartels, candelabras, inkwells...
Boulle also designed large flat desks on legs...
