Note du spécialiste
The Galle district in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) was renowned in the 19th century for its specimen and exotic-wood furniture. Primarily for the export market, tables such as this were supplied to British colonists and eventually exported back to Britain, ebony often being a primary material.
