More photos would help. I mean that table is so unusual compared to what we usually see around here, that I wouldn't even venture to guess what part of the world it came from.

I'm in Canada. It's currently on craigslist for sale and the seller doesn't know much about it other than his parents has had it since the 60's. No other photos than these, unfortunately, and I assume that it is unmarked. Very interesting, indeed, and perhaps locally made?
Just thought I'd give it a shot on this forum since I'm contemplating purchasing it and wanted to know more about it.
Cheers.

If it's a good price, buy it. Then leif can tell you more about those tusk tenons on the stringers. And if there's a glass piece on top of that cord, I'd ditch that as well.

I think all there is to say about the tusk tenons is that they are tusk tenons.
And there is actually a set of dining chairs that matches this construction, and this peculiar cord and manner of weaving at an antique mall near me. Been sitting there for ages. The wood looks like teak.
Based on the very hand made construction and the teak, I would think that the chairs were made in Asia somewhere.

Thanks so much! This place is a great resource.
I've seen a lot of tables but never one with a woven top. This could possibly be made in Asia but the tapered legs capped off with brass feet gives at a real modern feel.
Cheers.

Modern things can be made in Asia too. I once saw an Asian made teak chair that looked like it could have been designed by Ole Wanscher in the antique mall next door. It was very lovely.
