Description
A circular table top profusely decorated with geometric parquetry and marquetry in the Taracea style, likely of Anglo-Indian or North African origin. The design is centred on a twelve-pointed star motif, which radiates into a complex field of interlaced geometric patterns and stylised floral forms. The outer border features a series of repeating tree-like motifs, finished with a toothed, parquetry-inlaid rim. The inlay is composed of various stained and natural woods, including teak, with highlights of mother-of-pearl. The top is of veneered construction over a solid wood base. The reverse shows a plank-constructed underside with a circular outer apron, indicating it was originally intended for a side table, likely with a folding wooden stand. It is currently fitted with a modern brass D-ring hanging loop for wall mounting.
Diameter 70.5 cm.
