About the Item

A beautifully restored coffee table with stacked rattan pedestal legs, and a lustrous Curly Koa Wood top. Koa wood refers to a type of wood that comes from the Koa tree (Acacia koa), which is native to the Hawaiian Islands. Koa wood is highly valued for its beautiful figuring, which includes various patterns such as curly, quilted, tiger-striped, and fiddleback. Curly Koa wood is characterized by its wavy or curly grain pattern, which creates a three-dimensional effect on the surface of the wood. This figure is caused by the irregularities in the growth of the tree and is highly sought after for its aesthetic appeal. We only purchase and sell only the best and finest rattan furniture made by the best and most well-known American designers and manufacturers including: Ritts Company.
