Pieces such as this, which would have been purchased or commissioned for a large house as part of a decorative scheme, rarely come onto the market, especially in this state of preservation. The panel has elements of chinoiserie in its design, a style which came slightly later to Italy than to other European countries, but which eventually flourished rather spectacularly there during the 18th century, when a passion for all things oriental heavily influenced the rococo style, infiltrating all areas of art, architecture, and the decorative arts. Many of the Italian courts - for example, the Bourbons in Sicily and Campania, the Savoys in Piedmont, and the Medicis in Florence, not to mention papal Rome - indulged their enthusiasm for the exuberant decorative motifs of rococo chinoiserie, of which this magnificent headboard is a wonderful example.

The vogue for large napkins in the 18th century was driven by the need to protect the elaborate clothes worn. In 1774 a French treatise stated that the napkin should cover the front of the body from the neck down to the knees.
