Islamic Style Inlaid Lace Makers Candle Table

Fine proportions, beautiful styling and quite rare. There is something very unique in style and design of this Islamic inspired lace makers candle table. I spent ages examining it and admiring the detail. If you start with the legs you have three very finely turned legs with a small bobbin feature at the lower part. Running your eyes upwards there are two rings with a darker brown background inlaid with diamond pieces. These pieces of material bone, unfortunately we cannot 100% identify them, although they very hard, which normally resembles the make up of ivory, so undecided. The legs are attach to a round flat bottomed sphere which is profusely decorated in either bone or ivory with triangular pieces of mother of pearl. There is a turned column connecting to the circular table top. The outer edge is raised, leading on to moat before the central geometrically designed inlay. Geometric inlay on the outer edge, floral designed middle border, finishing off with a profusely decorated geometric designed centre section and undispersed with mother of pearl. The timber has reddish terracotta painted finish and shows signs of wear across all the wood. The bone inlay has darkened with age, there are small losses to the inlay surface area. There looks like staining from a candle that burnt right down. Other than this the table is sturdy and has no loose joints. Extremely pretty and a rare example.
