S.O.S!!!!! Pen Shell Coffee Table!!! HELP!!!!

So I hate it when this happens but a coffee table I just specified for a design for a client was discontinued!!!! It's a Martha Stewart for Bernhardt piece (the "Obi Cocktail table") and is inlaid with young pen shells. Has anyone seen anything similar for a possible substitute?? Here it is below:
Ahhhhhh I just LOVE IT and this makes me so sad!!!! Not looking forward to breaking this to my very excited clients :( (I haven't even started searching yet- I thought I'd start with you all since you've saved me many times before!!!) Below is a close-up of the matching console so you get the idea.

If anyone has any idea/ thoughts, please let me know!!!! Thanks!!!

xoxo,

    I have absolutely no idea in terms of possible replacements, but have you ebay'ed, craigs list...ummm, what else am I not thinking of???

    Try a random Google Image search on the product. See if anything comes up on an auction site that you can buy?

    Oh good luck. It's a beautiful table!

    Here's one, but it's not the same style:

    I've seen others too. I believe Bernhardt makes this one or others.

    Is there a way for Bernhardt to check and see if any of their retailers still have one? Or maybe give you a list of retailers who had one? It could be shipped to you.
