This table consists of a superb specimen marble top with a central inlaid design of a bird resting on a branch with leaves and berries, this is surrounded by a geometric design of various inlaid specimen stones including marbles, semi-precious stones and gem stones such as Lapis Lazuli, Blue John, Verde Antico (further stones detailed below);

The marble is supported in a walnut recessed top with walnut cross banded edge surrounded by a moulding.
