Handmade Moroccan Mother of Pearl Table

The design of this table is very unique, its top and all of its sides are octagonal shaped and have mother of pearl inlays all over the piece. On every side of the table there is a wooden arabesque patterns that adds more authenticity to the piece. Also the bottom of the sides has uniquely designed arches which are one of the main distinctive features of Moroccan art. Mother of pearl of the top is a mix of green and white mother of pearl; which adds more magic to the table. It is inlaid in various geometric patterns to form a star in the middle; this star is surrounded by different shapes of mother of pearl to form this beautiful top in the photo.

This Moroccan Mother of Pearl Table table is made of high quality beech wood and its wood tone color would make it fit to any room within the house but I think it would be a great addition to the living room.
