Description
Neoclassical bedside table, late 18th century, Lombardy. The piece of furniture is veneered in rosewood, maple, boxwood and other light woods for the inlays; both the front where the door is housed and the sides are made with a lowered central panel in rosewood, with an octagonal reserve in the centre enclosed by a moulded and inlaid frame; the reserves on a maple background have an architectural inlay with capricci, temples, statues and figures. The panels are inserted in a double frame with a brass-plated frame and rosewood veneer arranged head-on and in a herringbone pattern. An inlaid frame in the base delimits the four truncated pyramid feet and another supports the top in which a top in green alps marble is set. Missing parts and restorations, walnut interior. The piece of furniture is similar to the production of Giovanni Maffezzoli although it does not reach the quality of the Cremonese master in inlay.

18th Century / 1701 - 1800Main essence:
Maple
Hard, light wood used for inlays. It grows mainly in Austria, but it is widespread throughout the northern hemisphere, from Japan to North America, passing through China and Europe. It is one of the lightest woods ever, tending to white, it is similar to lime or birch wood. The briar is used in the production of ancient secretaires .Walnut
Walnut wood comes from the plant whose botanical name is juglans regia , probably originally from the East but very common in Europe. Light or dark brown in color, it is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, widely used in antique furniture. It was the main essence in Italy throughout the Renaissance and later had a good diffusion in Europe, especially in England, until the advent of mahogany. It was used for solid wood furniture and sometimes carvings and inlays, its only big limitation is that it suffers a lot from woodworm. In France it was widely used more than anything else in the provinces. In the second half of the eighteenth century its use decreased significantly because mahogany and other exotic woods were preferred.Rosewood
Under the term Rosewood various exotic, hard and heavy woods have been united, characterized by a color that varies from pink to violet. Their origin is usually from Latin America, India and Africa and are still considered very valuable woods. Until the end of the eighteenth century, this name also referred to the bois de violette . In general, rosewood woods began to be imported into Europe starting in 1750 and were first used for veneers and inlays in England, flanked, by contrast, with lighter woods. Later, entire valuable furniture was manufactured both in England, mainly in the Regency style, and in France, starting from the Neoclassical period.Material: Green Marble
