Annotation: Henry Thomas Peter's professional career is difficult to determine, but it is assumed that he trained in England. He came to Genoa around 1817 and around 1824 maintained a workshop in Via Balbi, near the royal palace. Peters worked for the court of Savoy and made furniture for its palaces in Turin, Genoa and Racconigi, including the Palazzo Reale - most notably the furniture for the wedding of Prince Vittorio Emanuele in 1841. Peters and his workshop won the silver medal at the Esposizione dei Prodotti e delle Manifatture Nazionali. Some of his works can be found in the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa.
