How do I care for inlaid wooden tables?

Maintain the wood and inlay by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid placing items in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent the wood from warping and the inlay from loosening. Condition the hardwood surfaces occasionally with appropriate furniture wax, taking care around delicate mother-of-pearl or bone sections.

Where were these pieces originally made?

Items reflect traditions from Syria, Egypt, Morocco, and broader North African regions. Many pieces were produced for export or created during European revival movements in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Workshops utilised local timbers combined with specialised inlay techniques handed down through generations of artisans.

Are hexagonal tables used as stands?

Hexagonal tables, often termed kursi, functioned traditionally as support surfaces for books, lamps, or decorative objects. Their distinct shape suits placement beside seating or in corners. The geometry allows multiple sides to be viewed, showcasing the intricate carving and metal or shell inlay.

How do I distinguish Moorish Revival from Syrian pieces?

Moorish Revival items typically emphasise heavy carved woodwork and structural arches influenced by Spanish and North African architecture. Syrian pieces often showcase extensive mother-of-pearl and bone geometric inlay work. Examining the primary decorative medium helps identify the specific regional aesthetic of the furniture.
