I feel it in my bones...

 
Found in the well-appointed living quarters of princes and courtesans, bone inlay furniture was afforded only by the wealthy in times gone by. Today, craftsmen in India, Egypt and Morocco are sharing their craft with contemporary designers to create pieces that are an amalgamation of ancient artistry and modern sensibility. Rest assured that no animals were harmed in the creation of these pieces.
