Title: Buhl, 1907 [Go to resource]
Description: This was the first of a series of tins of this shape which included 'Locket'. This tin was only available for export and was never sold to the Home market. Buhl work - also known as 'Boulle work' - is a form of marquetry using brass and tortoiseshell. It is named after André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) who was famous for furniture made in this way. Although he did not invent the technique, Boulle was its greatest practitioner and gave his name to the practice. A square tin, also called 'Buhl', which mimics this form of marquetry was produced in 1904.
