The cool chairs

The coolest thing about this awesome table is that the top of the table is carved with an elephant at each head of the table, then a buffalo, leopard, rhino, and lion (The Big Five) are in between the elephants. The chairs are also carved with The Big Five. There are two elephant chairs, but they are also different from each other. On one side of the chairs is the full image of the animal, and on the back is a close up of the animals head. So cool.

The Table

Well, much like the rugs from Morocco and the Kudu couch, I decided that I needed some authentic furniture for my house. Purchasing this table (more photos in the next posts), completes, for now, my African theme. The table is made from kiaat wood. I met Oliver (the artist) and his wife; while they drove a hard bargain, I was able to negotiate a reasonable price. As soon as the shipping falls into place, the table will makes its way to my home. It will look great. My friends Ilyn and Gert have graciously agreed to keep the table in their home until I can sort out the details.
