Andre Charles Boulle Italian Casket
Framed in sold Oak and in keeping with the beauty of the 17th Century, the Boulle Casket is an example of inlays and controintarsio - this method allowed for the pattern to be obtained using the waste woods of the first inlay. On all four corners is hand-carved a stylized leaf fern. The high level of artistic input means that The Boulle is covered by International Patent...it is after all, a work of Art.
