I'm translating an inventory of works of art and antique furniture in a stately home. Often the description of the items of furniture (desks, bureax, tables etc.) includes the following phrase: "[desk] lastronata in noce e radica di noce filettata in acero". Does anyone know how I could translate "filettata" in this context? Many thanks, Sarah.
