Designed by Carlo Bugatti, this extraordinary table exemplifies the designer’s unmistakable synthesis of craftsmanship, symbolism, and exotic inspiration. Executed in ebonized wood and enriched with parchment details, the piece is adorned with intricate inlays of pewter and bone, while an ornamental disc in hammered copper with fringed silk tassels introduce a tactile and decorative accent. True to Bugatti’s visionary language, this rare vintage table transcends its functional purpose to become an artistic statement, where precious materials and meticulous craftmanship interact in a harmonious balance of structure and ornament.
