(Item 8)Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. Wooden Marquetry Picture – Tiger This striking piece of industrial artistry features a detailed depiction of a tiger, expertly rendered through the traditional technique of wooden marquetry. Produced by the renowned Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., this panel showcases a sophisticated inlay process where various wood veneers are meticulously fitted together to create the form, texture, and shading of the subject. Historically, such high-quality marquetry pieces were often commissioned by Brunswick to decorate their most opulent billiard rooms or were featured in their premier equipment catalogs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The craftsmanship highlights the natural grain and contrasting tones of the wood, bringing a sense of movement and depth to the feline’s portrait.
