These stylish antique Anglo-Indian tables are currently all the rage, and deservedly so. The table is made from shisham (an Indian rosewood) which has an attractive reddish-brown colour and is Inlaid with elephant ivory and indian ebony. The top has been given a light polish, and has a lovely colour. The legs fold-away; very helpful for storage. These table would have been popular during the British Raj: for use on bungalow verandahs and picnic excursions.
