A comparable Italian 17th century black and white scagliola table top sold at Christies, London, Important European Furniture, Sculpture and Tapestries Including Three Private European Collections, 9th November 2006, lot 93

There are several comparable 17th century black and white scagliola table tops made by Annibale Griffoni (1619-1679) including one held in the Villa Medicea di Cerreto Guid situated in the Fucecchio Marshes near Florence.

A technique used since the Romans to replicate marble and pietre dure. Scagliola is a composite substance made from selenite which is ground down and mixed with lime. This mixture is then placed on to a stone support, often slate and inlaid with a composition of coloured scagliola and graphite giving it the effect of pietre dura.

Literature
Anna Maria Massinelli, Scagliola l'arte della pietra di luna, Editalia 1993. P94, pl 59 for a comparable 17th century table top with central crest made in Capri, now in the Canelli Collection
