Title: Buhl, 1904 [Go to resource]
Description: 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. This tin-shape was also used for 'Jewel Case', produced in 1903.
