At the end of the eighteenthcentury, Neoclassicism dominated throughout Europe. Furniturechanged to meet the new requirementsof families, who were commissioning smaller furniture, better suited to use inall the rooms of the palazzi, eventhose once used only for entertaining. New types of furniture were created,such as desks, tables and bedside tables. When the Viennese court moved toMilan, the city became an important artistic centre, where craftsmen could openthriving workshopsthat turned out pieces of exceptional quality. This dresserwas made shortly after the middle of the eighteenth century by cabinetmakerGiuseppe Maggiolini, who had one of the most popular workshops in Milan. Itsrounded form and volute-shaped edges follow the curve of the piece and supportthe curved top. The dresserwas donated to the Museum in 1948 by Countess Lidia Morando.
