"An old polygonal mother of pearl inlaid table with eight pieces of Damascus style tiles; made in Syria, 20th century."
This type of wooden table with a ceramic tile top held trays of food and drink. It would have used in an Ottoman palace, set before guests who sat on a low bench, or divan, built against the walls.Many large polygonal tiles survive from the Ottoman period, but this example is one of the very few that still serves its original purpose as a table top.
