Original hand painted tiles from Marianna

The wooden tables are built of a dense wood with a smooth texture. Beautifully crafted, they were decorated using the original design of the artist. The author painted and sanded each table base by hand, a process which gives a casual charm to the tables and makes each one unique. Hand distressed finish of the corners and ornaments reveal the bottom layer of paint (blue, red, and brown) which harmonizes with the colored drawings of the ceramic tiles.

Ceramic tabletops are drawn by hand using an original design.

(“Life in a medieval castle”)

Height: 20 1/8″
Table Top Outside Dimension: 19 3/8″ x 19 3/8″

The Medieval age with all it’s mysteries, even now an unexplored time, inspired the author to create such an original work of art. The drawings in the frames are copies of miniatures from the 15-th century, on a theme of the daily life of the medieval feudal lord. These miniatures were found in French museums, which stored figures kept from the Middle Ages: a medieval castle, a living room where a feudal family listened to the songs of the troubadour, lunch in the dining room and the office of the feudal lord.

The top-table is designed by 4 square tiles (6”) and eight triangular tiles. The drawing is made out of various shades of brown, with the elements of red added in.The Wood base of the table is made in the style of medieval furniture, simulating ancient technologies.The table is colored with 2 layers of paint: bottom layer is red, and the top layer is brown.
The wood ornament is enhanced by erasing the top brown layer and revealing the bottom red layer. As time goes, and the table gets older, the appearance of the bottom red layer on the scratches and abrasions will only give the table an old fashioned and individual look. The table also has a lower shelf for books or potpourri.

Table top: 41 3/4″ x 11 1/8″

This black metal table has sleek, simple lines. It’s top is beautified with four rhombuses 6” and ten triangular tiles.

On the square tiles are depicted mirrors, in which we can see a reflection of a lady in a dress of Baroque fashion. The drawing on the tiles were made using a particular technique – white contour lines are not drawn on the surface of the oval “mirror”, but instead are graven in it.
This gives an original mirror-like gleam to the image. The triangular tiles form a framework for the mirror, imitating metallic open wires. Bordering the tile tabletop is the mosaic from the black ceramic.
