What else would you put in the space between sofa and TV if not a coffee table? Especially one that's as brimming with character as this one. It's somewhere for your remote control, your glass of wine and your bowl of nuts. Or somewhere for books and magazines, or even a surface to play a board game or a hand of cards. Handcrafted in India from sheesham wood, the dark tones of this sturdy piece have been treated to a wax lacquer that brings up the grain and attractive tonal variations beautifully. Influenced by colonial style, details like the iron stud work and expertly turned legs only increase its desirability.
