Furniture


Even the furniture gallery at the Getty had some fine looking males.
This cabinet was made by Andrew-Charles Boulle around 1667.

  1. Massive furniture of very fine wood parquet work and gold ormolu trimmings. Not to mention the intricate joinery used to keep it all together. Furniture fit for a palace, as only their big rooms and their high ceilings can accommodate such lofty furniture.
