Boulle Game Table - Tortoiseshell and Brass Marquetry - French School.

Descriptio Ebonized wood with brass and tortoiseshell inlays in the Boulle style, with gilt bronze applications. Measurements: 76 cm x 86 cm x 43 cm closed and 75 cm x 90 cm x 90 cm open. The curvilinear structure, with cabriole legs and a cropped skirt, is profusely ornamented with Baroque marquetry that integrates plant motifs and female masks, typical of the Louis XV style. The upper surface opens to reveal an interior upholstered in green cloth, intended for play, denoting its character as much functional as luxurious. The execution reflects the influence of André-Charles Boulle, master of French cabinetmaking, whose legacy endured in the haute decoration of the 19th century.
