Semiprecious-stone table

1738 - 1749. Chalcedony, Agate, Lapis lazuli, Ebony wood, Paragone, Amethyst, Jasper, Gilt-bronze.
Room 089

This is one of the first works made in the workshops which the Bourbon monarch Charles, future King of Spain, founded in Naples in 1737, employing Florentine craftsmen and directed by Francesco Ghinghi. The King and Queen were so pleased with this table that they commissioned a companion piece. The top is richly decorated with inlay of different hardstones, carefully chosen to imitate the effects of painting through their chromatic variations. The bronzes are by Giacomo Ceci.
