Mid-Century Modern Italian Extending Dining Table in Macassar Ebony with Mother-of-Pearl Inlays, Retailed by Harrods, Circa 1970s Description: Elevate your dining space with this exquisite mid-century modern Italian extending dining table, a rare piece retailed through Harrods in the 1970s. Crafted entirely from Macassar ebony, the table showcases the wood’s dramatic, streaked grain in a stunning chevron veneer pattern on the circular tabletop, with its natural medium-brown tones creating a dynamic, geometric design. The edge of the tabletop and the lower section of the pedestal base are stained to a deep, almost black shade, providing a striking contrast that enhances the wood’s beauty. Delicate mother-of-pearl inlays are set into the tabletop and base, adding a touch of opulence that catches the light and elevates the table’s luxurious appeal. The pedestal base mirrors the tabletop’s chevron pattern, with a subtle mother-of-pearl inlay near the top, and is finished with a sleek black lacquered accent at the bottom for a modern touch. Measuring H76cm x W126cm x D126cm, the table extends to W166cm via a clever butterfly flip-out mechanism stored beneath the tabletop, offering versatility for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.
