About the Item

The original fossilized black marble circular top over a conforming frieze of richly figured crotch mahogany, mounted upon a stunning flame-mahogany tri-corner base accented with three individual hand carved & applied swan-shaped elements, raised overall on three columnar supports on compressed pad feet. The top having a later repaired separation which remains very stable. (Note: In order to better illustrate the superior figuring of the mahogany of this fine table, the lighting source has rendered a somewhat warmer hue in the primary image, as opposed to the darker tone observed in the subsequent images). IMPORTANT NOTE: For all interested U.S. & Overseas clients, we are currently in the process of establishing a means to expedite the process of obtaining the necessary CITES export permit required to ship items constructed of mahogany - whether in part or in whole, to both United States & overseas clients. That being said, at this point it may take upwards of several weeks or possibly months to obtain the necessary CITES Export permit.
