Coffee table

Item Description:
This is a handcrafted wooden coffee table featuring intricate inlay work with a central panel showcasing white elephant motifs, likely created from bone or faux ivory. The design includes a carved border and foliate detailing, all set under glass for protection. The legs are cabriole-style, adding a touch of European influence to the otherwise South Asian aesthetic.

Medium and Materials:
The primary wood appears to be rosewood or teak, both traditionally used in Indian artisan furniture. The inlay is most likely bone or resin composite, common in Indian craftsmanship. The top is protected by a custom-fit glass pane

Distinguishing Features:

• Multiple white elephants in procession, a classic symbol of prosperity and royalty in Indian culture
• Decorative border with geometric and floral inlay patterns
• Possibly handcrafted in Rajasthan or Gujarat, known for fine bone inlay furniture
• Overall shape and design suggest mid-to-late 20th century export item made for Western markets

Condition:
Mint. The table is well-maintained, with the protective glass preventing wear on the intricate inlay surface.

Estimated Dimensions:
(Estimate based on proportions relative to surrounding furniture)
Approximately 4 to 5 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 18 inches tall

Estimated Value:
Current market value for a piece of this quality and craftsmanship would typically range between $400–$900 USD, depending on the intricacy of inlay, provenance, and regional interest. It may command more if verified to be vintage or antique and made with real ivory (which requires legal verification and provenance due to international restrictions).

Recommendation:
A professional appraiser or South Asian decorative arts specialist can help determine if the inlay is real bone or synthetic, and confirm the region of origin.
