There's something about a piece of furniture with a narrative. It's about how you feel in your environment, not only about appearance. That’s exactly what bone inlay end tables offer. They’re more than just side tables. They carry history, tradition, and craftsmanship, all wrapped up in one beautiful design.
At Elephanta we’ve been working with this art form for years. Every table we make is a blend of careful hands, real materials, and designs that feel both timeless and personal.
What Are Bone Inlay End Tables?
A technique with generations of history is bone inlay.It started in India and the Middle East, when artists would laboriously shape little fragments of bone into elaborate patterns. Then colored resin fills these designs to produce something that is delicate but strong.
What makes bone inlay end tables special is how much care goes into each one. There’s no machine that can do this kind of work. It’s all handmade — every line, every shape, every finish. At Elephanta we make sure each piece reflects the love and patience that goes into true craftsmanship.
The Materials We Use
We believe that quality starts with what you build with. Our bone inlay end tables are made with:
- Ethically sourced bone, carved by skilled artisans
- Solid wood bases like mango wood, chosen for durability and sustainability
- Colored resin that brings out the pattern without overpowering it
- A smooth hand-applied finish that protects the table and highlights its design
We don’t cut corners. We take the time to do it right because we know these pieces will be in your home for years to come.
Designs That Feel Personal
One of the best things about bone inlay end tables is how versatile they are. Whether you love bold and modern or soft and classic, there’s something that fits.
At Elephanta, we create:
- Floral patterns that bring warmth and detail into a room
- Geometric designs for a clean, stylish look

The beauty of each item is found in their unique feel. We find great celebration in the fact that no two tables are precisely the same.
