Lot Essay
The inlay on this small table is very closely related to the production of the Milanese workshop of Giuseppe Maggiolini (d. 1814), the celebrated "Intarsiatore" to Archduke Ferdinand (d.1824).
The ribbon-tied love trophy including a flaming torch and quiver which decorates the tabletop, as well as the small scrolls at the tops of the legs and the foliate-scroll inlay to the undertier, are all motifs found frequently within Maggiolini's work. For further information see G. Beretti, Giuseppe Maggiolini Milan, 1994.
