Marquis di Sorrento
Literally thousands of tiny solid wood inlays are the highlight of this magnificent table fashioned in the style of the John Thurston tables from the 1800's. The inlays are hand-cut from the finest select woods and alternate from mahogany, black ebony, birds-eye maple and pear wood. The beauty of the Marquis di Sorrento is far from just skin deep. Two solid hardwood beams are interlocked in routed crossbeam slots for extraordinary stability-as opposed to the modern glue method used by imports. And every seam, even inside and underside areas never seen, are sanded and finished. Shown in Honduran Mahogany with piano finish, leather net drop pockets, hand-tied braid and silk tassels.
