The piece is adorned with Moorish arch motifs, turned spindle details, and a geometric star medallion inlaid into the seat—hallmarks of Levantine artisanal furniture.

The chair is constructed with a sturdy frame and finely carved details throughout, demonstrating skilled handwork rarely found in contemporary production. The natural patina and subtle variations in the mother-of-pearl reflect age, authenticity, and traditional techniques.

I learned furniture making and inlay work from my father, a master woodworker, which allows me to recognize quality craftsmanship and authentic materials. This piece exemplifies that heritage and attention to detail.

Structurally sound and visually striking, this chair functions beautifully as a decorative accent, occasional seating, or a statement piece in a curated interior. See less
