The image depicts a rather intricate table made in England in 1862, designed by J. Randell and manufactured by S. Birley. It is marble inlaid with other stones, done in the Florentine "pietra dura" style. The piece was completed for the "International Exhibition of 1862" in London, making its age a suitable comparison to Dorian's table in the novel (Table|Randell, J.).
