FAQs

A Damascene games table is a style of Middle Eastern furniture originating from Syria during the late 19th century, characterised by geometric micro-mosaic wood or bone inlay and traditionally featuring a chessboard top.

Traditional Syrian inlaid furniture utilises hardwoods such as walnut or fruitwood, decorated with geometric marquetry made from dyed woods, bone, and mother-of-pearl.

Authentic 19th-century pieces feature hand-cut geometric tesserae forming micro-mosaics, traditional joinery, age-consistent timber finish, and turned mashrabiya lattice work.

Position this item as an occasional side table beside an armchair or within a reading alcove to introduce geometric texture and historic craftsmanship.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft lint-free cloth, maintain stable humidity to prevent timber movement, and avoid liquid cleaners or chemical polishes that could loosen delicate inlay.
