Eric Scerri, professor and expert in the history of the periodic table at the University of California, Los Angeles, dated the object between 1879 and 1886 – based on the elements represented. Thus establishing that the element chart is about 135 years old.
The table is written in German, and an inscription in the lower left corner identifies a scientific publication that operated in Vienna between 1875 and 1888. Another inscription identifies the lithographer on the chart, who died in 1890. Scholars then believe the table could have been made in 1885.
