The square frame is executed in richly toned veneer, inlaid with a rhythmic frieze of diamond motifs. Alternating light and dark woods create a striking optical effect, emphasizing depth, precision, and symmetry. The composition reflects Zanotti’s signature balance between traditional craftsmanship and modernist clarity.

The warm patina of the wood enhances the natural grain, while the clean, architectural lines give the piece a timeless presence.

Created during the later period of Zanotti’s career when he focused on smaller marquetry objects, this piece is representative of his meticulous attention to detail and his pursuit of harmony in form and material.
