304 pages, illustrated in colour. Hardback. 28 x 24cms. Text in French. 

Catalogue of 37 works on show at the Château de Chantilly, displaying commodes, bureaux plats, scabellons, chandeliers and consoles in the tortoiseshell and cut-brass marquetry that earned Boulle the post of Premier ébéniste du Roi. Each item in the exhibition is discussed in detail and includes the results of technical analysis and notes on restorations.
