Specialist note

Closely related mirrors with similar pierced ruffle shell crestings and trailing foliage to the sides were supplied by the intagliatore Giovan Battista Dolci (with gilding by Francesco Ristori and Vittorio Frangini) to the Palazzo Pitti, Florence (see E. Colle, I Mobili di Palazzo Pitti, Il Primo Periodo Lorenese 1737-1799, Florence, 1992, p.150). Further Florentine mirrors attributed to Dolci are illustrated in E. Colle, Il Mobile Rococo in Italia, 2003, pp. 218-220.
