The centrepieces are crafted from cut glass and ormolu, or gilt bronze, in the Neoclassical style that predominated during the reign of Louis Philippe. Each centrepiece features a trefoil base raised by three scrolled feet. The base of each supports the shaped central foliate-cast baluster column and hosts a trio of putti engaged in music making. The central column of each is richly detailed with a variety of forms: the column resembles stacked urns decked with scrolled brackets and grasping foliage. Each centrepiece terminates in a pinecone finial encompassed by a winding, biting snake, and each supports three cut glass dishes, the bottom the largest and the top the smallest.
