Damascus woodwork brings the centuries-old Syrian craft of marquetry into everyday pieces. Each item is handcarved from walnut and inlaid, piece by piece, with genuine mother-of-pearl in patterns passed down through generations of Damascene artisans — a technique that traces back to the Ottoman era and is kept alive today by only a small number of craftspeople in Damascus.

From clutches and shoulder bags to keepsake boxes and backgammon boards, every piece in this collection is one-of-akind: no two inlay patterns are exactly alike. We work directly with artisans in Damascus to bring their work to a wider audience — every purchase supports the continuation of this craft.
