The piece of furniture is entirely covered with "small fire" painted majolica tiles attributable, by comparison, to the Pesaro-based manufacture of the Lodi Casali and Callegari, founded in 1763 and remained in operation until 1787. The fashion for "coated" furniture arose in France in the mid-eighteenth century and involved a few Italian ceramic manufacturers, including Ferniani in Faenza and Folco in Albissola.
