In May 2011 the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum was home to an ambitious

interdisciplinary conference focusing on the production, conservation and

contextualisation of furniture in the Boulle technique. Featuring

contributions from international authorities this beautifully and richly

illustrated volume relays the content of the presentations given and

discussions had in the course of those two days in a series of 19 scholarly

essays. This wide-ranging survey of objects decorated with Boulle marquetry

from Southern Germany, Austria and France is the first of its type and

exposes this much overlooked area of furniture history to new light. It is a

must for art historians, historians and conservators alike.
