Impressive antique Boulle-marquetry presentation album made by the famous Bavarian designer and cabinetmaker Franz Xaver Fortner (1798-1877, Munich). Fortner founded his workshop in 1826 in Munich and became one of the most important cabinetmakers in this period. He exported his work to England, Russia and France and worked for several noble families. This particular album is characteristically rich in Boulle marquetry with floral ornamentation inlaid with cut brass and silvered metal, bronze appliqués, mother-of-pearl and other organic material. In very good condition. The key is missing. The bounding/leather is later replacement. Please see all photos for details.
