André-Charles Boulle(French, 1642–1732)
A past master at veneered furniture, Boulle stands foremost in the long line of great French cabinetmakers of the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Born in Paris, he was recorded as a marqueteur(marquetry specialist) after 1664 and was appointed ébéniste du Roi (cabinetmaker to the King) in 1672, under Louis XIV. Boulle worked principally for the Crown, especially at Versailles, but his clients also included French nobles and foreign princes. He produced for them an uninterrupted succession of extraordinary works.
