AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of four wooden African stacking tables (nesting tables) with an inlaid wooden or marquetry (intarsia) image on the top, a unique set with accompanying serving platters.
Different scenes from everyday African folk life.
The frame and base: The exterior and the raised edges are usually made from a sturdy base wood such as teak, walnut, or acacia.
The inlay work (the image): To achieve the different tones in the landscape (the mountains, the oxen and the houses), the maker uses thin layers of veneer from various woods. The dark grain lines and contours are often inlaid with palissander (sonokling) or coromandel, while the lighter parts and the sky typically consist of lighter indigenous or tropical hardwoods.
Art Deco Colonial / Mid-Century Modern, Madagascar, circa 1960.
Fully refreshed by a furniture restorer and ready to shine in your interior.
