A square Syrian side table in solid beech, its top laid in marquetry using several contrasting woods and its sides worked with mashrabiya detail. The top is pure marquetry — wood against wood rather than shell against wood.
- Solid beech with marquetry inlay in contrasting woods
- Mashrabiya detail worked into the sides
- Square top, 20 × 20 in (50 × 50 cm), at 18.5 in (47 cm) high
Marquetry reads differently from shell inlay — quieter, and dependent on the grain rather than the light.
