Small syrian octagonal table in blackened wood marquetry, clear wood and mother-of-pearl, checkerboard decor on the base, and chevrons on the plateau surrounding a central Arabian floral motif, vintage late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This pedestal is in its own juice.
A note: the tray was glued and reinforced, some shocks, accidents and lack of veneer, wood and mother of pearl, small holes, scratches and wear of time, look at the photos.
