This one-of-a-kind coffee table combines Syrian woodworking mastery with the timeless beauty of Persian textile art. Measuring 54 inches long, 34 inches wide, and 19 inches tall, the table becomes an elegant centerpiece, merging East and West Asia’s decorative traditions into a single, sophisticated form.
Top Surface:
• The centerpiece of the table is a genuine Persian antique carpet fragment, carefully selected for its intricate floral and geometric patterns, rich natural dyes, and fine knot count.
• The textile is encased in a crystal-clear resin top, offering both protection and a glass-like clarity that preserves the beauty of the rug beneath. The resin has a slightly beveled edge for comfort and an ultra-smooth finish.
• Surrounding the resin top is a narrow carved walnut frame, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide, subtly adorned with delicate mother-of-pearl inlay in star and floral patterns. This slimmer edge enhances the visual prominence of the rug.
Frame & Apron:
• The walnut apron beneath the top is elegantly hand-carved with classic Arabesque motifs, inspired by Mashrabiya and Mamluk ornamentation.
• Intermittent inlays of mother-of-pearl and abalone accent the carved areas, giving a shimmering contrast against the dark walnut wood.
• Corners are softly rounded to create harmony with the flowing lines of the cabriole legs.
Legs:
• The cabriole legs are sculpted from solid walnut and feature deeply carved arabesque scrolls, culminating in gentle outward curves at the feet.
• Each leg’s carving echoes the motifs found in both Syrian and Persian traditions, connecting the structure to the art beneath the resin.
Finish:
• The walnut wood is stained in a warm, deep chestnut tone with a low-luster satin finish that enhances the natural grain and offers durability.
• The resin surface is UV-resistant and finished flush with the wooden frame, giving the impression of a seamless glass panel while being far more resistant to breakage.
This table is perfect for a luxury living room, boutique hotel, or gallery-like interior. It honors heritage craftsmanship while creating a functional art piece that captures the soul of two ancient cultures.
