Featured Table from India

Just finished repairing this; one leg in three pieces, another leg broken off its bracket. Basket case brought back to useful life. Interesting inlay of metal and bone in what looks like solid mahogany or another tropical wood. I assume from India, but lighter and airier than most of the indian tables I see. Maybe @Any Jewelry will be so good as to tell us the real details

 

It is a beauty, and I would think Middle East, but when it comes to inlay styles @808 raver or @santiques can probably tell you more.

 

How about a Syrian Moorish Tea Table Inlaid with Mother of Pearl kind-of-thing?

 

I was also thinking in the direction of Syrian. But inlaid with bone, as Jeff said, and metal, and two different kinds of wood.

The difficulty with this kind of inlay is that you see roughly similar styles in a broad band from Southern Spain and Morocco all the way east to Indonesia and the Philippines. Even Zanzibar and some other parts of East Africa, due to the Arab influence.
Those circles, for instance, are also seen a lot in Filipino inlaid furniture, but there they would be in mother of pearl.
I hope the people I tagged can tell us more.

 

The truth is it's like nothing I've ever seen, saying that it does have some patterns I would expect to find in Indian inlay but it doesn't smack of Indian craftsmanship both in the construction and the intricacy you would expect to find in the inlay..............My hunch would be 60's Egyptian or Moroccan

 

Great repair job on a wonderful table!

This was the one I found. I put Kind-of-thing because I knew it wasn't REALLY like Jeff's, but had a more "airy" minimalistish feel. How's that for a confident response?
