The Art of Fine Furniture












The Queen of Slipstream by Mark Laub





















This beautiful wood piece is created to intrigue the eye and then to explore deeper.  The flower top spins upward to reveal the mosaic inside.

Smaller drawers come out the side and off the top.

 
Open the top for more hidden beauty

And looking closer at the bottom, I find another treasure.
