French, Circa 1860
Charles-Guillaume Diehl (1811–1885).
Diehl was a German born cabinetmaker that worked and ran workshops in France from circa 1840 until 1885, specialising in small decorative cabinets and jewelry caskets, as well as producing a small amount of furniture. His work was characterized as exuberant, incorporating exclusive and fine quality porcelain and bronze and silvered mounts, marquetry, Pietra Dura and Boulle style inlays, while pioneering a unique and exotic style by combining elements of French 19th century furniture and decorative Greek and Gallic themes. Diehl participated in all of the major international exhibitions of the nineteenth-century and received various medals at 1855, 1861, 1867, 1869, 1873 and 1878. Rare to find on the market, Diehl’s pieces are located in the Musée d'Orsay, Musée de l'Ecole de Nancy, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and private collections.
Andre-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) was received as a Maître Ébéniste in 1666, quickly becoming known as ‘the most skilful artisan in Paris’, and was appointed ‘Ébéniste du Roi’ in 1672, when he became a resident of the Louvre Palace, and was granted the especial privilege of being permitted to work in both bronze and wood. Although not the inventor of the method of inlaying the combination of ebony, tortoiseshell and brass, his ability and creative ability in the medium became at once associated with the patronymic, ‘Boulle’ and many of his masterpieces, which are represented in many museums and prestigious Royal collections throughout the world.

- 'James Bond' Boulle Marquetry Writing Desk in the Louis XIV MannerBy Toms & LuscombeLocated in London, GBA bureau plat in the Louis XIV manner By Toms and Luscombe shown at the 1862 International Exhibition, London Featured in the 1962 classic James Bond film "Dr. No" starring Sean Connery Constructed in the manner of Andre-Charles Boulle, using complex arabesque premiere-partie inlays on an ebony ground: the whole richly dressed with bronze doré mounts; of serpentine form, rising from strongly modelled swept cabriole legs dressed with foliate entwined chutes, capped with cartouches and terminating in scrolled sabots, the apron of bombe form enclosing the kneehole, housing three lockable drawers flanked by ormolu clasps, and three similarly dressed faux drawers to the obverse, having complex loop handles; the platform having a tooled Morocco leather writing surface, with the complex arabesques in the reserve, and having an outer foliate cast ormolu guard edge. The bureau plat has a rich history, exhibited and praised at the 1862 International Exhibition, but also featured in the iconic 1962 James Bond film Dr No starring Sean Connery. Shown on set in the quarters of Dr Julius No on Crab Key alongside numerous famous masterpieces such as Francisco Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wellington, the décor used in this first James Bond film has entered popular culture, and symbolises the opulence, luxury, and glamour of 1960s cold war era spy films. Toms and Luscombe Successors to, and working from the same premises as Town and Emanuel, which they took over between 1840 and 1851, they traded from the same address at 103 New Bond St. and also specialised in fine quality Boulle or "Buhl" marquetry as it was often referred to in England. They appear in the 1851 census. (Inlay, Marquetry and Buhl Workers in England c. 1660-1850, Pat Kirkham, The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 122, No. 927 {Jun., 1980}, pp. 415-416 and 419).
