Table top of black slate, inlaid with scagliola in tones of off-white, ochre red, green and yellow; the yellowish tonality may be the result of a discoloured varnish. The design, read from end to end, is centred on a large oval cartouche with mottled grey fill colour, flanked by two smaller cartouches with red and white marbling. Above and below the central cartouche is a symmetrical candelabrum from which spring heavy scrolls and stems, with birds (some holding a worm), grotesque birds, and at each end a swag of fruit. Along both long sides run fleshy C scrolls.

There are various small chips and losses.
