This is likely the last to be seen Marquetry Banding from the famed late nineteenth and early twentieth century French maker
Buffard Fr
ères
.
The firm went out of business in the 1930's.
Any commercially available Frères bindings were last
seen when Lees Valley made their wareroom find of
materials in 1989.  Alas, no more to be had from them, they sold their last long ago.
But, now available to you one of the few remaining examples.
Acquired from France in 1980 through Hoppe Imports.
