Walnut Inlay Mirror, Mother-of-Pearl & Silver Detailing, Damascus
Our Walnut Wood Inlay Mirrors are exquisite pieces of craftsmanship, handmade by artisans in Damascus who continue a centuries-old tradition of wood inlay. Each mirror is crafted from natural walnut wood that has been carefully aged for years before being worked, ensuring both durability and beauty. The inlay work incorporates silver thread and sustainable sourced mother-of-pearl from the fresh waters of the Philippines, adding striking luminosity and refinement to every design.
The art of inlay has deep roots in Damascus, dating back to the Ottoman period and beyond. Known for its meticulous patterns and refined elegance, inlay work has long been a symbol of prestige and artistry across the region. From royal courts to family heirlooms, this craft has been cherished for generations, with Damascus renowned as one of its finest centers of production.
Our collection features traditional styles such as Mushaggar (tree-like motifs) and Tal (fully encrusted designs), showcasing the diversity and sophistication of this heritage craft. No two mirrors are alike, each one reflects the unique skill and creativity of its maker, preserving an art form that continues to endure despite modern challenges.
These mirrors are more than functional décor; they are living testaments to Syrian heritage and resilience. Whether displayed in a hallway, living room, or bedroom, they add a touch of timeless elegance and cultural depth to your home.
