Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Craftsmen in Damascus developed intricate mother-of-pearl wood inlay techniques during the Ottoman period, combining local timber with shimmering marine shell fragments to create elaborate geometric and floral patterns.

These frames are typically crafted from regional hardwoods such as walnut or citrus wood, inlaid with hand-cut mother-of-pearl shell, camel bone, and micro-turned wooden lattice spindles known as mashrabiya.

Authentic items display subtle variations in the size and iridescent colour of the hand-cut shell tesserae, alongside hand-carved wooden joinery and natural patination across the unvarnished rear surfaces.

Hang the frame as a focal accent on a narrow wall, in a cloakroom, or above a understated console table to create architectural contrast against contemporary flat-paint finishes.

Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth, avoid placing the object near direct heat sources to prevent wood shrinkage, and refrain from applying liquid solvents that can dissolve natural animal glues holding the shell.
