Cabinet 19th Century, Napoleon III Period, Style Boulle
Located in Warsaw, PL
This wooden cabinet is designed in the Boulle style. This style was very popular around the time of Napoleon III. The characteristic of this style is the use of small pieces of wood in furniture, inlaid designs with many different materials: precious wood, precious stones, enamel, ivory, seashells, metal, marble etc. In addition, to express the royal style, the "Boulle" style also uses a large amount of gilded copper on the furniture, such as tiger claw decoration, mirror border decoration, leaf decoration, etc.
The main elementsof this cabinet is ebony and turtle shell, with decorative details and gilded legs. This is a pretty prominent highlight in the overall black and gold color scheme. Moreover, the head of a woman is in the middle of the cabinet with waves in her hair and grape vines could be representing the Greek goddes of spring Spring. Surrounding the head are beautiful acanthus motifs incorporated in every layer and surface of the cabinet. Symmetricallly on the left and right side of the head are two identical faces, with one being the lock of the cabinet where key goes. The four corners of the cabinet have blooming carnations to create a feeling of spring coming. The details are collaged, decorated with golden bronze leaves in a classic French style. On the edges of the cabinet are sculptures of two women wrapped around with cloth and leaves. Through it, the author highlights the beauty of the woman's status in the past. On the side panels of the cabinet is placed a gilded face of a man with wings...

ANDRÉ-CHARLES BOULLE (1642-1732)
king's cabinetmaker
Designated to the king by Colbert as "the most skilful in his trade", Boulle designed a large number of bronze and marquetry pieces, making him the first great cabinetmaker of 17th-18th-century French furniture. The creativity and richness of his furniture contributed to Versailles' reputation in this field.
From 1672 onwards, Boulle designed all kinds of furniture for Louis XIV, his family and the Court, and his name is inseparable from the copper and tortoiseshell marquetry that made him such a success: the famous "Boulle marquetry". Although he was not the inventor, he created a new process for cutting the same motif from these two materials. The result is two panels: the "part" and the "counterpart". The first is copper on tortoiseshell, the second tortoiseshell on copper. In 1684-1692, the Grand Dauphin commissioned Boulle marquetry for the panelling and parquet flooring in his Versailles cabinet, which disappeared in the 18th century.
Another major Boulle innovation was to apply bronzes to his furniture to protect the most sensitive parts. Mascarons, claws, friezes, foliage... invade consoles, desks and cabinets. Bronzes are also found on clocks, cartels, candelabras, inkwells...
Boulle also designed large flat desks on legs...
