The furniture is veneered in rosewood, maple, boxwood and other light essences for the inlays; both the front housing the door and the sides are made with a lowered central panel in rosewood, with an octagonal reserve in the center enclosed by a molded and inlaid frame; the reserves on a maple background present an architectural inlay with caprices, temples, statues and figures. The panels are inserted in a double frame with a brass-plated frame and rosewood veneer arranged head-on and in a herringbone pattern. An inlaid frame in the base delimits the four truncated pyramid feet and another supports the top in which a top in green Alpine marble is set. Deficiencies and restorations, walnut interior. The piece of furniture is comparable to the production of Giovanni Maffezzoli although it does not reach the quality of the Cremonese master in the inlay. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
