Giuseppe Parvis (1831-1909) was an Italian cabinetmaker and furniture designer. He was born in a humble home in a rural area called Lomellina, in the Italian region of Piedmont, in 1831. Completed his studies at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, he moved to Paris to practice as sculptor and engraver. Growing impatient of the lack of his success and in need of a change, in 1859 he left Paris and moved to Cairo, Egypt, where he quickly built a reputation for himself as cabinetmaker, getting noticed and appreciated by the local governor Isma'il. His long-aimed international fame finally concretised with the Gold Medal won at the Universal Expositions in Paris in 1867, with his exotic design of the Egyptian pavilions, followed by further praises at the Expositions of Philadelphia in 1876, Milan in 1881 and Turin in 1884.
