Adriano Brambilla (1829-1885) was a cabinetmaker active in Milan in the second half of the 19th century. Representative of the Umbertino style, his works attempt to recreate the precious chromatic effects of Renaissance furniture by employing subjects referring to Italian artistic glories. The cabinetmaker uses the techniques and typology of 16th-century furniture, but revisits them according to the eclectic taste of the last decades of the 19th century, mixing different styles and ornamental languages, often combined with elements of his own fantasy. He took part in the Italian National Exhibition in Milan in 1881, and some of his pieces were purchased by Antonio Borgogna. They are now housed in the Borgogna Museum in Vercelli, Italy.
