Le médaillier Boulle ayant appartenu à Maximilien Emmanuel II de Bavière est le seul meuble en marqueterie de fleurs exécuté par André-Charles Boulle qui se trouve aujourd’hui en Allemagne. Ce décor repose sur l’emploi de vingt et une essences de bois différentes. L’idée a été émise que des colorants avaient été ajoutés pour accentuer l’effet polychrome des bois. La spectrométrie UV-visible est une méthode non-destructive pour vérifier la présence de ces colorants. Les résultats indiquent que certains éléments verts et jaunes de la marqueterie sont teints, et que le fond de la libellule est peint à l’indigo et au smalt.
