The Murray River Table

Inspired by the mighty and now imperilled Murray River, the table features three timbers. The center panel, representing
the river, is made from Birdseye Yellow Stringybark, whilst the the panels of Jarrah on either side are symbollic of the
red sandy soils of our arid interior. Trimming the arched side rails is a bead of 7500 year old Redgum that has gone
pitch black with age.

Only two of these tables have ever been made. The other sold in Sydney for $17,000. With the closure of Nicholas Dattner and Co., we expect that this one is worth a great deal more.
