About the Item
Bois durci is a composite material made from fine wood flour mixed with a binding agent, such as a resin or natural gum, which is then subjected to heat and pressure to harden it. It resembles materials like ivory or tortoiseshell and can be polished to a high sheen.
Bois durci was developed in the early 19th century, around the 1850s, and became popular for creating decorative items, inlays, and sculptures. It was particularly favored during the Victorian era for its aesthetic qualities and durability.
This set of four depicts two US Presidents - Abraham Lincoln and George Washington - and Dante Alighieri and Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet.
From an important private English collection.
