EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a magnificent Turinese bureau mazarin from the early 18th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of Luigi Prinotto, or attributed to him, this exquisite piece is made of rosewood and walnut, adorned with intricate ivory inlays. Measuring at an impressive 85x124.5x61 cm, it currently resides in a private collection. The bureau's surface is meticulously decorated with scrolling lines that gracefully intertwine throughout its entirety. Delicate vignettes depicting hunting scenes and picturesque landscapes add an enchanting touch to the overall design. The breakfront top features a unique shape, while a walnut-lined drawer and recessed door provide practical storage space. Flanking each side are three drawers divided by scrolled volutes, enhancing the bureau's elegant silhouette. Square tapering legs joined by waved platform stretchers lend stability and sophistication to this remarkable piece of furniture. Later turned toupie feet have been added for additional support. Although some restorations were necessary on the scrolled volutes of the upper section over time, they do not diminish its grandeur nor detract from its timeless beauty. This photograph captures every ornate detail of this Turinese bureau mazarin impeccably, allowing viewers to appreciate its craftsmanship and decorative allure up close. A true masterpiece that exemplifies Italian artistry from centuries past.
