These first decorative and interior design trends made these small types of decorative middle eastern occasional tables popular and of great utility with a highly decorative design and flexible utility . - The antique table is in un-restored condition and as shown by the photos with some wear to the table-top, which has a loss of marquetry and mother of pearl with some knocks to the table edge.
