Boulle marquetry invented under Louis XIV (17th century). Although its technique appeared as early as the 16th century, it owes its name to André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732), master cabinetmaker at the court of the King. It is a marquetry that consists in placing materials such as tortoise shell, copper, brass, mother of pearl, inside wood... More specifically, Boulle marquetry is a veneer of tortoiseshell combined with metal, most often copper or brass.
In good condition. Time wear to the gilding. The movement has been cleaned, serviced and is in working order.
