Our July 2023 update brings you a piece of Buchschmid and Gretaux wood inlay furniture we have only encountered once before.

It is a wonderful round table (36" diameter - approx 90cms) which depicts the History of the World from 1497 to 1792.

It is owned by Deb Brown of the USA.

As we said, this design is one which was somewhat new to us - and, it appears to be a more intricate piece of B&G work than is the norm.

Whether, as we said before, that this was a "one off" special piece made to commission, or part of a specialised order we are afraid that we don't know.

Unfortunately Herr Otto Chlup who used to advise us on these matters is sadly no longer with us. This is a shame, we miss Otto's friendship and abundant B&G knowledge dearly. He is very sorely missed by us all.

Nonetheless, this particular B&G round table is an excellent example of Buchschmid and Gretaux at their intricate and detailed best.

We understand that Deb is looking for a new home for this desirable table and is reluctantly offering it for sale. So if you are looking for an unusual example of Buchschmid and Gretaux wood inlay work, this could be the online auction to watch out for.

Buchschmid and Gretaux tables such as you see here are proving to be very collectable these days and, as you can see, are very decorative.

If you are interested let us know and we will put you in touch with the owner, Deb Brown.

But please note that we do not take any part in this transaction, it will be purely between yourself and the seller. We only bring you this information as a courtesy to our contributor. You will deal with the seller on a 1 to 1 basis
