A Moroccan mother of pearl inlay side table at bedside height — 28 inches (73 cm) tall on a 20-inch footprint, the tall model among this collection's inlaid accent tables. The carcass is quality beech; over it, 100% natural mother of pearl and several contrasting woods are inlaid by hand across every visible face, so there is no plain side to hide against a wall.
The hours are in the inlay: each fragment of shell cut to shape and set individually, in the manner Syrian and Moroccan workshops have used for generations.
It sits best against plain plaster or limewash, where the pattern has room to be read rather than competing with a busy wall.
