Born from the craftsmanship of André-Charles Boulle, this composition draws on a single, exquisitely detailed section of a grand cabinet in the Louvre—specifically, the lower edge of a drawer front. Created in Paris between 1685 and 1715, the original cabinet exemplifies Boulle’s mastery of marquetry and ormolu: elaborate brass inlay, tortoiseshell, and finely cast bronze work brought together with royal precision.
Here, that narrow ornamental band has been reimagined and reflected across four quadrants, forming a jewel-like architectural frame. At its center rests an unusually large square-cut diamond, an invented gem that transforms the functional into the ceremonial. The result is a meditation on scale, symmetry, and splendor—an homage to decorative arts as regal theatre.
