<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9769870, member: 4654"]Today these are made with plastic inlays, personally I don't see why they didn't use bone as this would have made them almost impossible to tell the difference between a antique one or a modern one. The difference in price is huge, you can pick up a good modern used Hoshiarpur table for £250 but the same antique ivory inlayed table would cost £2500, there really isn't any difference between the two apart from the inlay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
