Handmade Octagonal Moroccan Coffee Table
Moroccan Coffee Table made of high quality beech wood and has mother of pearl inlaid all over the piece. The head of the table is octagonal in shape and is covered totally with mother of pearl which is cut into various shapes and in laid carefully to form various patterns all over the head.
Unlike most tables, this table has only one leg which is centered under the head and has a base to keep the balance of the table and to make it more handing and practical to be moved within the room. Mother of Pearl is also inlaid on the leg as well as the base but in a way that is combined with the wood color which provides a contrast that adds more elegance to the Moroccan Table.
The Moroccan Mother of Pearl Table can fit to any room within the house but it can perfectly fit to the living room or the entrance of the house as it would be a real eye catching and welcoming piece.
