FAQs

Syrian inlaid furniture, particularly from Damascus, gained prominence during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavily influenced by Mamluk and Ottoman artistic traditions.

These pieces traditionally utilise dense native hardwoods such as walnut or beech, intricately carved with geometric patterns, arabesques, and inlaid with natural mother of pearl and bone.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-cut, irregular pieces of mother of pearl, deep relief hand-carving in hardwood, traditional joinery without modern fasteners, and natural ageing of the timber and shell.

Such distinctive statement pieces work effectively as standalone accent seating in a study or living room, contrasting against minimalist modern architecture and neutral colour palettes.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage, and treating the wood occasionally with microcrystalline wax while avoiding liquid polishes on the inlay.
