Specialist note

These mirrors are inspired by a watercolour produced by the studio of Giuseppe Maggiolini (1738-1814) and preserved at Castello Sforzesco in Milan (B94-154). Amongst the works of art in the collection in Milan, one can see the influence of the designer Giacondo Albertolli (1742-1839), who published his models in 1782 and 1787 in Ornamenti diverso e Alcune decorazioni di nobili sale.
