Antique Syrian Inlay Chairs, Walnut, Original Upholstery, Late 19th Century

About the Item

This pair of antique Syrian chairs, handcrafted in Damascus during the late 19th century, is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship. The chairs feature intricate mother-of-pearl inlay, skillfully embedded into rich walnut wood, creating a striking contrast. Designed in traditional Syrian workshops, these chairs are believed to be 120–150 years old and reflect the unparalleled artistry of their era. The original upholstery, possibly French, complements their heritage, though its exact origin is unconfirmed. With their delicate floral and geometric patterns, these chairs exemplify the Syrian (Damascene) style, a hallmark of Middle Eastern decorative arts. They also resonate with the Moorish Revival aesthetic, making them versatile for traditional and eclectic interiors. Ideal as statement pieces, they combine history, art, and functionality.
