Pair of Pietra Dura Topped Circular Occasional Tables
About the Item
This fine pair of 19th century occasional tables exhibit an exceptional example of the marble Pietra Dura technique. Developed in 16th century Florence, this highly skilled form of inlay uses pieces of cut marble, which are placed seamlessly together to create images. Each tabletop depicts a delicate bird perched on a branch. When placed side by side, the pair can be seen to create a narrative: One bird calls to his mate from a leafy branch; she sits surrounded by feminine floral imagery and turns her neck towards the male in response to his call. Standing on their wooden bases, these occasional tables make an impressive addition to any space.

Antique carved hardwood circular side table with rosewood top, Myanmar
Located in London, GB
This heavily-carved circular side table was crafted in the 19th Century in Burma (modern-day Myanmar). Myanmar is associated with the production of fine, highly-intricate wood carvings, which were often inspired by Buddhism, or pre-Buddhist Animist beliefs.
The hardwood table features a circular top, with a polished rosewood inlaid centre. This is encircled by a profusion of low-relief carvings, depicting monkeys, elephants and birds, surrounded by foliage, hills and Myanmar architecture. This band of carved ornament is ringed by a raised, pierced gallery. A curvy-edged skirt runs along the top of the table, and is deeply carved with scrolling foliage.
A baluster-shaped stem supports the table top. This has a leafy top, and foliate carved stem, with a fluted base. The stem is set on three legs with scrolled feet, which are decorated with three-dimensional carvings of wild cats and baboons.
This table is a truly exquisite piece of Myanmar wood carving...
