FAQs

Syrian inlaid furniture originates from traditional craftsmen in Damascus and Aleppo, who mastered the intricate art of woodworking, combining dense hardwoods with geometric bone and mother-of-pearl inlay techniques dating back centuries.

These pieces typically utilise regional hardwoods such as walnut, apricot, or beech, heavily embellished with finely carved geometric motifs, delicate mother-of-pearl tesserae, and camel bone inlay.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut, irregular inlay pieces set into deep wood grains, traditional pegged construction methods, natural patination of the wood, and hand-carved calligraphy or intricate Islamic geometric patterns.

Place the chair as a singular statement piece against a neutral, minimalist backdrop to highlight its intricate craftsmanship, or pair it with clean-lined modern furniture to create a curated, eclectic aesthetic.

Maintain the piece by keeping it away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent the wood from warping and the delicate inlay from loosening; dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid chemical polishes.
