Description: | These quayside scenes have recently been identified as the Grand Canal, Venice, following the works of the late 17th century engraver Melchior Kussell. The marqueter has used a Kussell print for the background and a modern print for the figures of merchants, gondoliers and Oriental men.
The marquetry is double layered, suggesting that it was produced in sheet form for sale to a cabinet maker.
Possibly German
