Akrotiri Table
Render this exquisitely carved side table in polished oak or mahogany, and it would fit right into a Victorian drawing room.
It is a plaster cast of a Minoan table that once stood in a house in Akrotiri some 3,600 years ago. The late Spyridon Marinatos and his team of excavators pumped plaster of Paris into a void of hardened ash; once it set, the ghost of an elaborate table emerged from the ash. Rattan beds, chairs, and wooden beams have also been cast.
