This Syrian wall mirror belongs to the Syrian Ottoman revival period of 1920 and follows a Moorish revival design. The piece is constructed from walnut with a warm brown timber colour, glass, and dense iridescent mother-of-pearl inlay. It presents a dramatic serpentine silhouette and an elaborate hand-carved openwork pierced cresting at the top, accompanied by detailed foliate arabesques and floral inlays distributed across the shaped frame and scrolled feet. Measuring 126 cm high, 91.5 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, the mirror functions practically as a wall-mounted decorative accent. In a contemporary home, this wall mirror suits placement above a sideboard in a hallway, dining room, or living room, serving as an ornate focal point that reflects light and adds textural contrast to surrounding walls. The maximalist aesthetic brings distinctive pattern and historical character into interior spaces without requiring extensive supplementary decoration.

FAQs

Syrian inlaid craft, particularly associated with Damascus, is defined by hand-cut mother-of-pearl, bone, and wire embedded into hardwood frames. Popularised during the Ottoman era, these pieces incorporate intricate arabesque and botanical scrollwork patterns.

These frames are constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut or citrus wood, adorned with hand-shaped mother-of-pearl shell, bone, or pewter wire inlays to construct repeating floral and geometric motifs.

Authentic examples exhibit slight variations in hand-cut inlay pieces, natural grain in dark walnut timber, and traditional joinery rather than machine-cut plastic or modern synthetic adhesives.

Position the mirror as a focal accent above a neutral console table or fireplace, allowing the detailed pattern to contrast cleanly against plain painted walls.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners or high humidity that could weaken the traditional hide glue securing the shell inlays.
