Giacomo Manzini, Scrivania multipla con quattro sportelli e ribalta, 1766-1767 

This 18th century work by the Modena woodcarver Giacomo Manzini features a wonderfully detailed design: four outward-opening leaves reveal small hidden drawers to transform it into a very elegant piece. It features bronze knobs and plates bearing the coat of arms of Modena. Finished on all four sides, the desk rests on fine curved legs with bas-relief carvings.
