Giambattista Gianotti

Rare chinoiserie furniture with polychrome decorations made at Giambattista Gianotti's Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa (Room 116) for the 2nd Biennial - Lombard Section - Room with furniture and stained glass from Officine Riunite d'Arte Decorativa. Unique specimen.

The extraordinary piece of furniture is dated 1925. The cabinet is an extraordinary example of great cabinet making and woodworking. In fact, these special features are denoted by the inlays inserted in the cabinet. The inlays are perfect even in the smallest elements. The representations are mainly ornaments and floral elements. These inlays are found on the crown of the cabinet, on the sides, and on the legs. The cabinet opens via two lockable doors.  We are greeted by numerous walnut wood drawers of various sizes, which can be opened with wooden knobs. Each wooden door is finely carved with ornaments and natural elements such as flowers and birds. The two main doors inside are also finely carved.
