This technique, also known as Boulle marquetry, regularly went in pairs since the brass plate cut to extract the patterns and the shapes of the patterns cut in the tortoiseshell plate were used mirrored on another object of similar proportions. Thus, the \u00ab contre-partie \u00bb counterpart drew patterns of scales on a brass background.<\/p>\n<p>This very beautiful box is signed Tahan, a quality house whose \u00ab tabletier \u00bb (a fine cabinet maker for small objects) Jean Pierre Alexandre Tahan (1813-1892) &#8211; &#8220;the prince of small cabinetmaking&#8221; as one likes to call him &#8211; supplied Napoleon III and the imperial entourage throughout the Second Empire.<br \/>\nWinning all sorts of prestigious medals for the incomparable quality of his work, he was also the object of glowing compliments in the specialized press and in 1861 Tahan was readily considered &#8220;one of those manufacturers who are ahead of fashion and set the tone instead of suffer&#8221; by La Chronique des Arts et de la Curiosit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>In perfect condition, this little box testifies to the undeniable talent of this master craftsman who collaborated with the greatest and reached, under the Second Empire, the apogee of refinement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Delivery price in France : 15\u20ac.<br \/>\nDelivery price in Europe : 35\u20ac.<br \/>\nDelivery price for other destinations: 55\u20ac.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Box in the first part of Boulle marquetry by Maison Tahan, supplier to the imperial family.
