Boulle Marketerie: die historische Verzierungstechnik einfach erklärt

What do horn, tortoiseshell, tin, and brass have in common? They are the key materials used in Boulle Marquetry, an intricate inlay technique from the Baroque period. In this video, our conservator Michele Cristale demonstrates how a magnificent princely desk by Ferdinand Plitzner from the early 18th century was decorated using this technique. Creating Boulle Marquetry is like assembling a puzzle, where individual pieces fit perfectly together. Michele explains step-by-step how these materials are combined and processed to create stunning ornaments. Discover the detailed craftsmanship and see how this technique was used to create splendid Baroque furniture. You can view the princely desk in our permanent exhibition "Renaissance. Baroque. Enlightenment" and also explore it online in our object catalog: https://objektkatalog.gnm.de/wisski/n... #BoulleMarquetry #Restoration #GermanischesNationalmuseum #FurnitureRestoration #Baroque #BaroqueFurniture #FurnitureDesign
