As you can see this desk looks like somebody took life out of it. It lost the beauty, some brass inlay and the finish.
André-Charles Boulle's name is synonymous with the practice of veneering furniture with marquetry of tortoiseshell, pewter, and brass. Although he did not invent the technique, Boulle was its greatest practitioner and lent his name to its common name: boulle work.
This project reqired carefull restoration of bent brass inlay, reconstruction of missing brass and tortoiseshell.
