The richly scrolling foliate marquetry of this table, within borders of repeated flowerheads, executed in various woods, ivory and mother-of-pearl, relates it to the work of the Florentine cabinet-makers Angiolo and Luigi Falcini, who were active in the second quarter of the 19th century. Two similar tables appear in a watercolour of the ballroom of the Villa Demidoff at San Donato, while another with octagonal top but with closely related marquetry is illustrated in A. Gonzalez-Palacios, Il Tempio del Gusto: Roma e Il Regno delle Due Sicilie, Milan, 1984, vol. II, p. 50, fig. 74.
