The Italian word "filetto" translated means "thread" and therefore the pattern that was used and framed with a Filetto border has (in English), a "thread-like" border. Skilled marquetry is required for this extra delicate inlay.
Also available in a lovely pink or light plum, We have many Ballet specific melodies: "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", "Waltz of the Flowers", "Swan Lake", "Music Box Dancer," and "Coppelia," to name some.
