EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the "Ebony Cabinet" created by Andre Charles Boulle in 1690. The cabinet, housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, is a true masterpiece of marquetry in metal and tortoise shell. Standing at an impressive height of 101.30 cm and measuring 117.60 cm wide and 50.00 cm deep, this cabinet is a testament to Boulle's exceptional craftsmanship. Its marble top adds an elegant touch while its oriental style exudes opulence and grandeur. The intricate decoration on the cabinet features a stunning array of birds amidst ornate foliage, showcasing Boulle's attention to detail and artistic flair. The reverse side displays a medal depicting Louis XIV, known as Louis the Great or the Sun King, who reigned from 1643 to 1715. The inscription on the medal pays tribute to Louis XIV's military prowess and his role in bringing peace to Europe after subduing Luxemburg. It reads: "Louis the Great, Because he was aroused to war by the Spanish. . . he accumulated his glory". As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of furniture from the seventeenth century, it becomes evident why it has captured admiration for centuries. With its rich history and exquisite craftsmanship, this Ebony Cabinet stands as a testament to both artistry and historical significance within French culture during that era.
