19th Century Syrian Pearl Bench

About the Item

19th Century Syrian Mother-of-Pearl Inlay Bench – Levantine Elegance Discover the opulence of Levantine artistry with this stunning 19th-century Syrian bench, intricately inlaid with shimmering mother-of-pearl and fine bone in delicate arabesques and geometric patterns. A true jewel of Ottoman-era craftsmanship, this bench hails from Damascus or Aleppo—historic centers of furniture artistry in the Middle East. Handcrafted from rich walnut or beechwood, the bench features a gracefully carved frame, pierced backrest, and turned legs—all accented by intricate inlay work that glows with iridescence under natural light. This piece is a rare survivor of a bygone era, ideal for collectors or connoisseurs of antique Islamic art. This bench is more than furniture—it's a conversation piece and a window into the lavish interiors of 19th-century Syrian homes.
