In 1672 he was appointed court artist and took up residence in the Louvre, the royal palace in Paris. He was the first artist to be allowed more than one artistic discipline because he needed more than one to complete his works of art and was in favor with Louis, Dauphin of France (1729-1765) and was granted this great and unusual honor for the time. He was incharge of a workshop with many employees. His workshop was famous for producing furniture with flower designs sophisticatedly executed in marquetry (inlay) with wood metal, natural shell and tusk. Many of the designs were Boulle’s own, but designs by other artists were produced. In 1715 Boulle handed his workshop over to his sons. Nevertheless he remained involved with the business. In the eighteenth century Boulle marquetry was famous. Even in the nineteenth century, designs from Boulle’s workshop were still being copied as this Clock That I have for sale.
