AN INTERIM REPORT ON THE MARBLE TOPS OF THE CHISWICK HOUSE TABLES

Author(s): D F Williams

A partial identification has been made of the individual inlaid marbles which form the "slabs" of the two Burlington pietre dura tables recently acquired by English Heritage and returned to Chiswick House. The two marble slabs are formed from over 250 geometrically shaped polychrome marbles. A range of classical marbles are present as well as medieval and later types.
