Italy, circa 1800.

Lit: Giuseppe Maggiolini (Parabiago 1738 – 1814) was an Italian cabinetmaker, of the late Baroque and especially Neo-Classical current. Although he is historically remembered as ‘Master of marquetry’, it is more correct to define him as ‘Master in cabinetmaking’, since in marquetry other materials (such as ivory) are added to wood.
