    Offered here 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 was a victim of the Great Depression and went out of business in the 1930's.
    Any commercially available Frères bandings were last
    seen when Lee 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.
    The laid-up block (log) was acquired from France in 1980 through Hoppe Imports along with dozens of others that we are also offering.
    So bid on these and add a bit of woodworking history to your next project.  And better hurry we've not much left either.
