تجسّم هذه الطاولة الفخمة بكيفيّة متميّزة الأسلوب الرّاقي للنّهضة الرّومانية. ورغم أنّ نسبة صناعة مكوّنات هذا العمل إلى أشخاص محدّدين هي مسألة غير ثابتة، فإنّ من قام بتصوّره يمكن أن يكون جاكوبو باروزي دي فينيولا ( إيطاليّ، عاش ما بين 1507- 1573م) وإليه تعود أعمال تزويق رائعة في قصر فارناز الواقع بمدينة بروما والذي من أجله صنع هذه الطاولة البديعة. ويتكوّن سطح الطاولة، وقد صنعه الفنّان الفرنسي جان مينار الذي عمل بإيطاليا في الفترة المتراوحة بين السّنوات 1582-1525م، من فسيفساء من البياترا دورا (الحجارة الصّلبة)، أي من قطع من الرخام والحجارة شبه الكريمة، التي تؤطّر «نافذتين» مركزيّتين من المرمر المصريّ. أمّا السّيقان الثلاثة الرّخاميّة فقد يكون نحَتَها غوجليا لمو ديلاّ بورتا (إيطالي، عاش في حوالي 1577-1507) بمعيّة حـِرَفـِييّ القصر الذين كانوا يعملون تحت إمرته. وتمُثّل زهرة الزنبق شعار عائلة فارناز أمّا الأسلحة التي تُحلّي الحجارة الضخمة فهي على ملك الكردينال ألكسندر فارناز.
