Fine, Northern Italian, Louis XVI period, Secretaire a Abbatant

Recto-linear in form, designs in both marquetry and parquetry, using fruit wood, ebonized wood and walnut veneers, having one long central drawer above the abbatant door which opens to reveal four small interior drawers and a leather writing surface, the lower compartment with two doors, each side adorned with musical trophies.

Certainly inspired by the workshop of Guiseppe Maggiolini.

Circa: 1780-1790
