Verified profile

The piece of furniture consists of two parts: a coffee table, characterized by introflected curl feet, and a trunk with a casket opening. It was probably used to contain the wedding trousseau or objects of private use. The elegant ivory decoration, engraved and colored with the typical colors used by Piffetti, runs uniformly over the entire piece of furniture. The strong-hood was bought at a Sotheby's auction in New York in 2013.
