The frame of the top is in exotic Brazilian rose wood, worked with longitudinal grain.

Raw Material

The most complex part consists of external marquetry, on a slab with a thickness of 4 mm. of exotic and rare essences, on which the rosewood worked in a herringbone pattern towards the centers and the “four-leaf clover” on all sides stand out. The finish is in "natural raw" version.
