The present cabinet, featuring an abundance of semi-precious stones amongst stylized faux ivory-inlaid foliage, is inspired by the luxurious inlaid furniture of the Italian High Renaissance. Promoted amongst craftsmen such as Pietro Bertinetti, who often reinterpreted or combined the forms and motifs of both Classical and Renaissance art, the fashion for certosa-style inlay flourished from the mid-nineteenth century. Whilst the quality of construction and execution of the inlay suggests a Florentine origin, the decorative language of the cabinet, with its Cinquecento rinceaux scrolls, amorini and cameos, is modelled on the North Italian workshops. Featuring an eclectic combination of various decorative elements in keeping with the Renaissance Revival, the cabinet’s inlay is quite comparable with the work of subsequent exponents of this technique, such as Giovanni Battista Gatti and Ferdinando Pogliani. In particular, the presence of porphyry and lapis lazuli recalls the work of Gatti, who was renowned for his skill incorporating semi-precious stones and marbles against an ebony ground. A related cabinet is recorded in C. Payne, European Furniture of the 19th Century, Woodbridge, 1981, p. 293.
