These striking hall chairs showcase intricate shell inlay work set against walnut, with architectural backs topped by stacked pediment details and splayed legs beneath. The octagonal seats feature geometric inlay patterns, while the front panels incorporate characteristic arched cutouts and smaller decorative squares that frame the pieces beautifully.
Circa 1960, these chairs reflect the Syrian tradition of marquetry craftsmanship, which blends Islamic geometric design principles with functional furniture forms. This pair exemplifies the ornamental style popular in mid-century Middle Eastern furniture making, where elaborate surface decoration elevates even utilitarian seating into gallery-worthy objects.
