Andrē Šarls Buls (fr. André-Charles Boulle, 1642 — 1732) - franču mākslinieks, zīmētājs, kokgriezējs, gravieris, zeltītājs, izcilākais sava laika mēbeļnieks, sava īpaša stila radītājs. Pēc izcelsmes flāms, no 1672. gada Luija XIV galma mēbeļnieks. Galvenā meistara stila iezīme ir īpašā inkrustācijas tehnikas nepārspējamā daudzveidība. Savos darbos A.Š.Buls eleganti kombinē dažādu šķirņu kokmateriālus, ieskaitot eksotiskās Indijas un Dienvidamerikas šķirnes ar bruņurupuča bruņām, ziloņkaulu, perlamutru, misiņu, sudrabu, bronzu un citiem materiāliem. Pēc viņa nāves, darbnīcu mantoja viņa četri dēli, kas turpināja darbību no klasiskā baroka līdz pat rokoko. Pašlaik Bula un viņa pēcteču mēbeles var redzēt Luvrā, Versaļā, Fontenblo, Klunī muzejā Parīzē. Андре - Шарль Буль (фр. André-Charles Boulle, 1642 - 1732) — французский художник, резчик по дереву, гравер, рисовальщик, позолотчик, крупнейший мастер-мебельщик своей эпохи, творец особого стиля художественной мебели. Фламандец по происхождению, с 1672 придворный мастер Людовика XIV. Особенностью стиля мастера стала искусная инкрустация в технике «маркетри», получившая в его работах невиданное ранее разнообразие. В своих работах Буль изящно сочетал разные сорта дерева, в том числе экзотические индийские и южноамериканские породы, панцирь черепахи, слоновую кость, перламутр, латунь, серебро, бронзу и другие материалы. После его смерти мастерская перешла к четырем его сыновьям, и мебель наследников эволюционировала от классического барокко к рококо. В настоящее время мебель Буля и его наследников хранится в Лувре, Версале, Фонтенбло, в парижском музее Клюни. Šī kumode ir tādas pašas konstrukcijas un izskata, kā pāris, kuras izgatavoja Buls Luija XIV guļamistabai Grand Trianon, 1708.gadā. Lai gan šis modelis tika kopēts vairākas reizes astoņpadsmitajā un deviņpadsmitajā gadsimtā, šis eksemplārs šķiet agrīna kopija, veikta paša Bula darbnīcā.

Andre-Charles Boulle was arguably the best cabinet-maker, chiseler, and marqueter of his time. His 18th century works were specialized for King Louis XIV and displayed in the Palace de Versailles. He created complex inlayed designs using wood, bronze, and organic materials such as tortoise shell. The close-up photos give an enormous amount of information of ornamentation details. As an added feature, included are detailed outlines of a few patterns - ready to copy and paint. This is a wonderful, historical depiction of Mr. Boulle's life work.

detail: commode. gilt bronze. 1710. Andre' Charles Boulle. http://hadrian6.tumblr.com
A pop of detail to start your day... Update! This lush marquetry (inlaid wood) panel is mounted on a French circa 1700 armoire made by court designer Andre Charles Boulle. His surname has become synonymous with rich inlays. A piece of furniture inlaid with tortoiseshell and engraved metals is known as "boullework" wether it was made in the 17th century or last Tuesday... It is over the top but is a complete tour de force, the lower two panels in particular are what we classically know as boullework. The floral marquetry thew me for a loop as I usually associate it with Flemish tables...but I digress. It really is amazing, especially the butterflies and detail achieved to the parakeets. When new the inlays would have been dyed in naturalistic tones. This detail of the corner shows horn that has been flattened and painted blue to the verso and inlaid with metals. I had to make sure it wasn't lapis. Very wild, but surprisingly the pop of color works. Until next time. -AR
