Abstract

This writing refers to the character that created the style that bears his name, approaches the historical context in which his furniture and decoration designs emerge, describes what Boulle marquetry is, and points out the difficulties of attribution or certification of authenticity at present, given that these pieces of furniture have been “imitated” in the same or similar way for more than three centuries. Finally, it shows in a certain detail a bas d’armoire of the late nineteenth century inspired by the Boulle school and reflects on some reasons why the imitations of furniture in Boulle mode are still made today, the most democratized contribution to the current time of André-Charles Boulle.
