The table at the left has nine vases; on either side of the central vase, the forms are mirrored, but the designs are different. The table on the left has a divided design. In the center of the cornice is a carved portrait bust; to the left the cornice is decorated with small flowers, to the right, a rosette design. The left leg of the table features a mascaron on top, with acanthus leaves winding around the leg. The right leg of the table features a bust with wings and a feathered headdress; the leg is wound with flowers. At the center base of the table is a vase filled with flowers and supported by harpies. The console table on the right is narrower, with seven vases; on either side of the central vase, the forms are mirrored but the designs offer variations. The design of the table is divided; either side features variations of flower, scallop, and acanthus leaf ornamentation. At the center base of the table is a carved figure of a putto holding a vase on his head. The plate is not signed or numbered.
