The surface is fixed to the base (an antique carved capital inverted) by a threaded rod inserted into a steel plate heat-welded to the glass. It is unscrewable. The capital is carved in wood; it presumably came from an interior wooden furnishing. Possible but undocumented provenance: the Aula Magna, University of Bologna. Tempered glass, 1 cm thick for the shelf. The capital shows signs of time and neglect; the workmanship is rough, but the carving is very dense, with acanthus and classical-inspired mouldings.

Il piano é fissato alla base (capitello antico intagliato e rovesciato) tramite una barra filettata innestata in una placca di acciaio termosaldata al vetro. É svitabile. Il capitello é intagliato nel legno, apparteneva verosimilmente ad un arredamento ligneo interno. Possibile ma non documentata provenienza, aula magna di universitá di Bologna. Vetro temperato da 1 cm per il ripiano. Il capitello presenta i segni del tempo e dell incuria, la fattura é grossolana ma l intaglio molto fitto gioca sugli acanti e le modanature di ispirazione classica
