The Boyles travertine side table has a forged iron base in a black finish that holds a tray top made of solid, unpolished travertine. The personality of the surface stems from the fact that it is porous and has a variety of nooks and crannies in its pitting. The table top is a challenge to make given the lip that rises above the edge of the frame. The Boyles travertine pieces satisfy the desire for texture and natural materials that is a growing trend in interiors.
