PROPERTY FROM VILLA D'AGLIÈ, TURIN (LOTS 1-51, 62, 299-300 & 318-394)Giuseppe ViglioneCabinet maker to the Royal Court of SavoyNephew of the celebrated Luigi Prinotto, Giuseppe Pietro Viglione (1748-1823) grew up in Turin, the heart of the flourishing cabinet maker’s milieu, during the second half of the 18th century. Soon to become an accomplished ébéniste, Viglione joined the corporation in circa 1781, and signed the works he produced with individually dated printed labels, on which he certified himself as Padrone Ebanista Approvato. Successful, he quickly became the head of a small atelier and produced pieces for the Royal Court of Savoy, the first documented payments from these commissions date from 1789. Viglione’s workshop specialized in producing high quality distinctive marquetry pieces such as cylinder bureau (lot 9), demi-lune commodes, secretaires à abattant (lot 10), bonheurs-du-jour, and particularly tavole da ginocchiatoio (lot 11). Specific invoices from 1794 refer to furniture delivered to the Queen’s apartment (1.650 Lire) including three wardrobes, and a number of demi-lune commodes (called di forma mezzo ovale) for the Castello di Rivoli, the same year. Viglione was still active in 1815 when Vittorio Emanuele I arrived on the throne. His production is often characterized by a three dimensional Greek Key marquetry used as a contrasting border to quarter-veneered drawers, façades, fall-fronts and sides of well-proportioned and perfectly conceived pieces of furniture.
