Luigi Prinotto (1685-1780) became a master cabinet-maker in 1712 and was patronized extensively by the Court in Turin. Documented pieces by Prinotto are extremely rare as, until recently, much of his work was attributed instead to his fellow Turinese cabinet-maker, Pietro Piffetti.
A further example of a closely related coffer on chest, originally conceived as a marriage chest, employing Prinotto's distinctive ivory inlay and marquetry is illustrated in R. Antonetto, Il Mobile Piemontese Nel Settecento, Turin, 2010, vol. I, p. 128, no. 23.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON LOTS CONTAINING IVORY:
The USA has recently changed its policy on the import of property containing elephant ivory. Only Asian Elephant ivory may be imported into the USA, and imports must be accompanied by DNA analysis and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. Buyers will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any DNA analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import into the USA. A buyer’s inability to export or import a lot is not a basis for cancelling their purchase.
