Catalogue Note
La technique de l'écaille piquée d'or appliqué aux arts décoratifs et utilitaires trouve ses origines à Naples dans les ateliers des tabletiers comme Antonio Laurentis, les Sarao ou Nicolas de Turris. Un encrier signé de Turris est conservé dans la collection Rothschild au Waddesdon Manor.
