The tray, surrounded by a gilded bronze mold, is covered with an Egyptian porphyry top.

Biography :
Henri Nelson took over the workshop of his father Jean-Henri Nelson, cabinet-maker himself, in 1856, at 46, rue de la Madeleine. It was then transferred to 79, boulevard Hausmann then to 2 rue Tronson-du-Coudray, before settling permanently at 27, rue Pasquier in 1870. He was present at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900 where he received a gold medal for the quality of his work, as well as at the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908 in London and the Universal Exhibition of 1911 in Turin.
