Michele Mancini on Sep 08, 2015Chinese, 1970's. Possibly teak, but maybe rosewood. I have a pair without the carving but identical in shape and design. If wipe down with white spirit and condition with team oil.Helpful Reply

Elaine Postley on Sep 08, 2015The carvings are surely hand done. Is it possible they are older than than the tables ? I would not do a thing to them until you know exactly what they from an expert.Helpful Reply

CraftingStuff on Sep 08, 2015Thank you all for the input. I have used a soft bristle toothbrush to break up the dust & dirt on the outside areas of the tables. I will not touch the large inside carvings for fear of damaging them. They seem too delicate to even try to work with. I will stop with them at this point until I can have a professional look at them.Helpful Reply

Maggie Huffman on Sep 21, 2015i found Thai style carvings that are similar & many that depict all sorts of pictures. they could be any age, but are not necessarily Turkish. if you know family history, i see no reason to think otherwise. they're quite beautiful! lucky you!!Helpful Reply
