Antique Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. – Tiger Marquetry Picture
This exquisite Tiger Marquetry Picture is a stunning example of the masterful woodwork and artistic detail that defined the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. in the late 19th century. Known for their intricate cabinetry and use of exotic veneers, Brunswick commissioned these marquetry pieces to showcase the high level of craftsmanship applied to their premier billiard tables.
The piece features a striking depiction of a tiger, rendered through the meticulous inlay of various wood species to create depth, texture, and contrast. This type of decorative art was often found as a central ornament on high-end table models or as a standalone display piece within the era’s most opulent billiard parlors.
This vintage artwork serves as both a significant piece of billiard history and a sophisticated example of Victorian-era industrial art.
