The table can certainly be attributed to the production of cabinetmaker Vincenzo Mari, active in Rolo in the 19th century.
The workshop of cabinetmaker Vincenzo Mari (1802-1888) was one of the most prolific in Rolo in the second half of the 19th century, and documentary sources attribute to him an innovative role with the introduction of mosaic decoration on the table tops.
Vincenzo Mari made use of the collaboration of his four sons: Alfonso, Pietro, Ugone, and Ilarione.
