More about this artwork

The painting titled "Kneehole Writing Table in Red Tortoiseshell. Lacquer Steel Top. Boulle. Gilt Fauteuils, Upholstered in Tapestry" by Edwin Foley (1910-1911) encapsulates the opulence and meticulous craftsmanship of early 20th-century interior design. This intricate artwork illustrates a sumptuous room setting centered around a luxurious kneehole writing table. With its exquisite red tortoiseshell finish and black lacquer steel top, the table highlights the Boulle technique—an art form named after the French cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle, famed for his marquetry of brass and tortoiseshell.Accompanying this ornate table are two gilt fauteuils, each masterfully upholstered in vivid tapestry. The tapestries bear pastoral scenes and elaborate floral motifs that bring color and life to the composition. These chairs not only complement the table but enhance the overall warmth and richness of the setting.The painter's attention to detail extends to the room's background, featuring elaborately patterned wallpapers and textiles with sophisticated designs, contributing to the painting’s depth and texture. Mirroring the ornamental essence of the furnishings, these elements echo the luxurious crafting traditions of the era.
