This specific type of woodwork is known as parquetry (or cube marquetry), where diamond-shaped pieces of wood veneer are meticulously fitted together to mimic three-dimensional cubes.
The radiating arrangement creates a kaleidoscope-like effect, shifting perspective depending on how light hits the varying grains and wood tones.
This style is highly characteristic of European craftsmanship, particularly 19th-century Italian, French, or English occasional furniture such as gueridon or tripod accent tables. Unmarked. Not new.

Dimensions: 13.5" Diameter x .75" H
