Italian 1930's Mother of Pearl Hand-Carved Table
A highly unique and rare Italian 1930's console or vanity table; the exquisite mother of pearl surface cascades down the sides creating a waterfall effect; the apron and legs of hand-carved, lacquered wood resembling a snakeskin or fish scale effect.

The legs are elegantly tapered.

This is highly refined piece which echoes the grandeur and sophistication of a bygone Era for which the mastery and skill for exquisite craftsmanship was prized.
