Made in India bone-inlay side table

An ancient Persian trade passed down from generation to generation and one of the very few trades that modern production cannot duplicate. 

Each unit has to be individually made as the bone has to be treated and cut and placed like a jigsaw on the unit and when dried polished to a high sheen.  These beautiful designs are classic family patterns.  This one is grey and white but comes in cream and white too.

Our modern philosophy of using everything and leaving no waste is only catching up to the ancient Persian trades.  King Cyrus would be proud to see this tradition outwitting modern machinery.

Who knows how long this trade will survive.
