treasure chest

Moorish Chest
A chest from Wisteria.com


I've been on the hunt for bone inlay furniture - mainly a coffee table for my living room that can double as an entertaining space. With a 700 square foot apartment, well thought out spaces are necessary. This Moorish Chest of hand cut camel bone from Wisteria has exactly the look I'm searching for in my dream piece. To me, bone inlay detailing is so feminine,  unique and ethnic looking without overpowering other pieces or hijacking the overall "look" of your space. Plus, who doesn't love furniture with history as poetic as this:
Sixteenth-century Mughal princes brought exotic Moorish designs all the way from North Africa to the Indian subcontinent. This stunning chest is adorned with intricately hand-cut, inlaid camel bone. Each of these exclusive pieces is slightly different and the result of many hours of craftsmanship.
