Bois durci

Description

A brand name for an early plastic material made from Albumen or Blood mixed with wood dust. Bois Durci was patented by Francois Lepage in France in 1856. The heated mixture was poured into molds, then cooled to form a hard, dense, glossy product. It was used for small decorative boxes, combs, pipe stems, inkwells, and plaques.
