I posted a link to a table I recently purchased. It has writing on the brass top. I am trying to determine what country this was made and if possible a translation on what it says. Thank you!

This is what I could make of it:

The inscriptions are definitely in Arabic calligraphy. They are etched statements of praise for a King.

It was probably designed by an artist/craftsman as a gift for a king.

For example: one says:

عز لمولانا السلطان الملك = Glory to our lord the King

Looks extremely rare. Probably 'one of a kind'.

Needs a close look by an expert (to establish origin).
