An Exquisite Neoclassical Marquetry Commode in the form of Giuseppe Maggiolini, Northern Italy, 18th Century

An elegant and finely executed neoclassical commode in the form of Giuseppe Maggiolini, the celebrated Milanese ébéniste of the late 18th century. Crafted in richly figured walnut, the commode features three drawers with exceptional marquetry inlay in boxwood and other fruitwoods, retaining its original brass escutcheons and keyplates. The top drawer is framed with a delicate band of alternating stylized floral rosettes, while the lower drawers showcase classical floral and foliate inlays, culminating in a central radiating fan medallion — a motif closely associated with Maggiolini’s workshop. The commode is raised on tapered legs with linear inlay, further emphasizing the clean architectural lines characteristic of the neoclassical style.

A 17th Century Italian Baroque Marquetry Cassettone

Italian, 17th Century

A rare and finely crafted Italian Baroque cassettone, circa 1680–1700, likely originating from Lombardy. Constructed in rich walnut, this piece features three full-length drawers, each adorned with exquisite marquetry panels depicting pastoral and animal scenes rendered in contrasting fruitwoods. Deeply carved foliate details frame each drawer, showcasing the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of the period.

Above the primary drawers, a concealed frieze opens to reveal a hidden writing surface and a series of small inlaid drawers, originally intended for correspondence and writing tools — a sophisticated secretarial feature rarely found in traditional commodes of this type.

Original brass hardware, bold carved feet, and a warm, time-softened patina complete this elegant and multifunctional piece.
