Accent Tables: Stone cold stunners
Lori Lester -- Home Accents Today, 6/1/2007
Stone, the foundation of architecture and sculpture since the awe-inspiring achievements of ancient Greece, is quickly becoming a prominent feature in rock-solid table designs that are works of art in their own right. From elegant marble to industrial cement slabs to fossilized wood, this versatile material offers an endless array of options guaranteed to stand the test of time.
Inlaid squares of capiz shell add an element of drama to a set of sleek, black stone nesting tables from the Fossil Stone Collection by Art Dreams Home ($620 per set).
Utilizing the same pristine white Makrana marble used in the construction of the Taj Mahal, an elegant, hand-carved side table from Eric Brand's Stone Series displays standout style ($2,400).
Creating a striking juxtaposition of materials, a thin slab of gray stone melds to smooth, sinuous mahogany in Weiman's Orca cocktail table ($1,200).
Featuring hand-pieced, chevron-patterned limestone supported by antiqued brass legs and crowns, Oly's Bovary cocktail table offers up an alternative to wood with this classic design.
Providing an organic stone option, Antique and Design's fossilized wood tables retain the original structure of wood, permanently preserved through the petrification process ($1,500 to $4,000).
