The three tear‑drop shaped sections fit together to form a single round table, offering both versatility and visual interest. Crafted from solid African Koto hardwood - valued for its orange‑brown heartwood, interlocking grain, and occasional knot clusters - each section is finely inlaid with blond timber in geometric patterns that blossom into flowers and leaves. The precision required to align these motifs seamlessly across three separate sections is exceptionally well executed and reflects the skill of Syrian artisans of the period. The rim carries a subtle Art Deco influence, adding a refined modernity to the traditional form. Visual Details When assembled, the three tear‑drop sections form a perfect circle, the inlay radiating outward like a woven textile or a mandala. The warm tone of the Koto hardwood contrasts beautifully with the pale inlay, creating a crisp, decorative effect. The inlay is in exceptional condition, with no losses or lifting, and the table has been fully restored to ensure its continued use and enjoyment. The three sections can be displayed together as a round centre or side table, or used individually for flexible arrangement. Styling Suggestions This set is as versatile as it is beautiful. Perfect as a statement occasional table in a living room, library, or reception space, with a floral arrangement or sculpture at its heart, or separate the sections for flexible occasional use.  In a boutique or hospitality setting, the modular form allows for creative re configuration, while in a home it can move effortlessly between formal and relaxed spaces. Its blend of traditional Syrian craftsmanship and Art Deco detailing makes it equally at home in eclectic, bohemian, or classic interiors.
