Description

Pair of Moorish Hand-Carved Octagonal Walnut Tables – Arabic Calligraphy & Star Motif

Pair of finely hand-carved Moorish-style walnut side tables, likely mid-20th century, exhibiting traditional Islamic geometric and calligraphic artistry. Each table features an octagonal top centered with an eight-pointed star motif surrounded by a deeply carved Kufic-style Arabic script border. The paneled sides display circular medallions with intricate lattice and arabesque designs above stylized arches, reflecting influences from Syrian and Moroccan craftsmanship. The warm walnut tone and rich texture highlight the hand-tooled carving throughout, creating elegant architectural accent pieces well suited for use as lamp or side tables.

Comparable examples of similar Syrian or North African carved tables appear in mid-century export furniture, with the pair format especially desirable among collectors of Moorish and Orientalist design.

Condition:

Good overall. One table shows visible adhesive residue on the top along with a light water spot. Both tables display minor chips and finish wear consistent with age and use. The carvings remain crisp, and both pieces are structurally sound and stable.
