FAQs

Damascus inlaid furniture originated in Syria and the wider Ottoman Levant, becoming highly sought after in the late nineteenth century during the height of the Western Aesthetic Movement and Orientalism. These pieces feature geometric wooden mosaic structures often detailed with mother-of-pearl, bone, or contrasting wood micro-marquetry.

Traditional construction incorporates local hardwoods such as walnut, fruitwood, or teak, combined with mother-of-pearl shell cutouts, bone, and occasionally brass wire. The bases are frequently constructed as hinged, collapsible panels allowing the table to fold flat.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved recessing where individual mother-of-pearl tesserae are set into the timber. Look for geometric star motifs, pointed horseshoe arches on the leg panels, traditional wooden pin hinges, and natural patination on the timber surface.

An inlaid folding table serves as a textured accent piece alongside modern upholstered seating, balancing clean contemporary lines with intricate pattern. Place it beside an armchair or sofa to hold books or tea trays while adding an eclectic, global aesthetic.

Keep inlaid timber away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity, which can cause wood movement and loosen delicate shell inlays. Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a neutral microcrystalline wax sparingly to protect the wood grain.
