Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Traditional Syrian inlaid furniture originated primarily in artisan workshops across Damascus during the Ottoman era, where craftsmen developed signature marquetry techniques combining indigenous hardwoods with mother of pearl shell.

These tables are typically constructed from dense timber such as walnut, olive wood, or cedar, which is hand-carved and inlaid with mother of pearl shell, bone, or contrasting wood accents.

Authentic pieces exhibit geometric lattice patterns or arabesque fretwork, hand-cut shell inlays fitted into recessed timber, and evidence of hand-cut joinery rather than uniform modern machine construction.

A carved Syrian side table serves as an accent piece alongside contemporary upholstery, where its dark timber and iridescent shell inlay create visual contrast in neutral rooms.

Maintain inlaid wooden furniture by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, keeping it away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement, and avoiding water-based liquid cleaners that could compromise shell adhesives.
