In the early 1760s, directed by the marchands-merciers, artisans began to make small round worktables; these items became popular, as they could easily be moved around a room for multiple uses. The porcelain top, which could withstand heated vessels without damage, was ideal for serving tea or coffee. Some tables were even sold with porcelain tea services that matched the decoration of the top.

The marchands-merciers or dealers were the first to use Sèvres porcelain plaques in furniture. Creating a worktable such as this one was a complicated process involving many stages. First the dealer commissioned a design and ordered plaques from the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory. He then selected an ébéniste to make and veneer the carcass of the table, leaving space for the plaques; a variety of craftsmen also had to design and make gilt bronze mounts. Another specialized worker lined the drawers with silk. Finally the ébénisteassembled the table and returned it to the dealer to be sold.
