Art Deco Boulle Work Style Paperweight

Offered by: Susan Silver Antiques

Description
Art Deco Boulle work style paperweight inlayed with pewter and brass, decorated with continuous arabesque designs of scrolling and interlacing foliage, brass rectangular handle mounted on a stepped base. It’s leaded, so it’s quite heavy.

André-Charles Boulle (1642–1732) was furniture-maker, gilder and sculptor to Louis XIV of France (1638–1715). His outstanding ability to inlay furniture and objects with tortoiseshell and brass or pewter inlays, gave the technique its name: Boulle work.
