FAQs

Syrian inlaid furniture, particularly from centres like Damascus, has a rich history rooted in Islamic art and geometric wood-working traditions, reaching a height of global popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries through international exhibitions.

These pieces are typically constructed from native woods such as walnut, apricot, or beech, meticulously assembled using intricate marquetry and micro-mosaic techniques incorporating contrasting wood veneers, bone, and mother-of-pearl.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut geometric tessellations, natural material inclusions like bone or shell, traditional mortise and tenon joinery without modern fasteners, and characteristic ageing of the wood and adhesives.

An octagonal inlaid table functions effectively as an accent piece or bedside table, providing texture and geometric pattern that contrasts well against minimalist modern seating or neutral upholstery.

Preserve the condition of inlaid wood by maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and cleaning only with a soft, dry cloth without harsh chemical polishes or excessive moisture.
