Abstract
  • In May 2011 the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum was home to an ambitious interdisciplinary conference focusing on the production, conservation and contextualisation of furniture in the Boulle technique. Featuring contributions from international authorities this beautifully and richly illustrated volume relays the content of the presentations given and discussions had in the course of those two days in a series of 19 scholarly essays. This wide-ranging survey of objects decorated with Boulle marquetry from Southern Germany, Austria and France is the first of its type and exposes this much overlooked area of furniture history to new light.
