EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic genius of Edwin Foley's "Coffret de mariage boulle" from 1910. The piece itself is a marriage casket, or coffret de mariage, created by Andre Charles Boulle, a renowned French cabinetmaker from the 17th to 18th century. Boulle is widely recognized as one of the greatest masters of marquetry, an intricate technique that involves inlaying different materials into wood to create stunning decorative patterns. His exceptional skill and innovation led to the popularization of Boulle work, which became synonymous with luxury furniture inlay. The photograph captures every detail of this remarkable creation - its rich colors, meticulous tapestry-like design, and impeccable woodworking. The marriage casket exudes elegance and sophistication with its ornate motifs and flawless execution. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when fine craftsmanship was highly revered. It serves as a testament to both Boulle's legacy as well as Foley's talent for capturing the essence of such masterpieces through his lens. This print not only celebrates the beauty found within this particular piece but also pays homage to centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. It reminds us that artistry knows no bounds and continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
