Provenance: North Carolina collection Other Notes: Giuseppe Maggiolini (1738-1814) was first noticed for his advanced and highly skilled marquetry work in 1768 when he was visited by the designer Giuseppe Levati and Marchese Litta, which led to multiple commissions at the villa of the Marchese. Maggiolini quickly became recognized for his workmanship and held the title of Intarsiatore delle Loro Altezze Reali. In 1771 he received his first important commission from the Milanese court on the occasion of the marriage of the Archduke Ferdinando di Lorena and Duchess Maria Beatrice d’Este. His workshop grew to more than two dozen craftsmen, and he subsequently supervised the construction and furnishing projects of some of the most important palazzos in Italy including Palazzo Ducale in Milan, the Villa Reale in Monza, the Palazzo Ducale in Mantova, as well as work commissioned by the bourgeoisie in Northern Italy.
