This surtout de table was produced during the Restauration period. It is of elongated rectangular form with semi-circular ends. The piece is encompassed by a pierced ormolu (gilt bronze) gallery formed as a miniature column-supported arcade and occasionally ornamented with palmette motifs. The central panels, of which there are five, fit together and are all inlaid with square semi-precious stone specimens displayed in a checkerboard pattern, the specimens including lapis lazuli, serpentine, porphyry, jasper, and orbicular diorite, among others.
