The Award Winning Boulle Collection by Nathan E. Hill
The Boulle Collection is an award winning commode set by Nathan E. Hill. As one of four
original sets to date from the craftsman, it was entered into the 2001 Annual IDI Chair Affair.
Amidst over fifty entries from five western states, the Boulle Collection was honored with
the prestigious 2001 IDI Best Craftsmanship Award. This collection is crafted from a careful
selection of genuine Honduran mahogany and carpathium elm burl veneers. The legs and
fretwork are hand-shaped, the inlays hand-cut, and the finishes a passionate blend of tung
oil and varnish hand-rubbed to perfection. These pieces are constructed with such old world
craftsmanship as dovetail and mortise-and-tenon joinery, faceted with true 18th century
reproduction hardware, and are signed and dated by the craftsman for recognition in centuries to come. This collection has been displayed in various shows over the last few years and is available for $12,000.00 US dollars plus shipping.
