A scarlet-boulle ebonised and gilt metal mounted bureau mazarin, 33.86 in. high, 55.51 in. wide, 27.56 in. deep
- Ebonised - Timber that has been stained or lacquered black in imitation of ebony. The process has been used since the Renaissance, but is most commonly found in late 19th century furniture, sometimes gilded and turned in imitation of bamboo. Furniture with an ebonised finish is not currently in vogue, and this is reflected in the price for such pieces.
