Southern Summers: Summer Scavenger Hunt

The final item included in the scavenger hunt is this...Boulle clock with tortoise shell and brass inlay on the case, ormulu mounts.  Andre Charles Boulle, chief designer of baroque furniture, which bears the hallmark of the Louis XIV style, perfected the art of tortoise shell and brass veneer on cabinet and clock pieces to such a fine degree that such work bears his name today!  All work executed by Boulle himself is in museums, however this Boulle-esque cloak is fine and rare.  The clock rests on the entry hall credenza (Second Empire...between 1870-1880) ebonized with brass and gilt trim.  And as with the sands of the hour glass, time has come to a finish on "Southern Summers" at the WF.  We proudly announce the opening of "Mourning Memphis" coming August 17th!
