Early 20th Century Syrian Sadeli Micro-Mosaic and Mother-of-Pearl Inlaid Box


An intricate, early to mid-20th-century Syrian marquetry box of elongated octagonal form, decorated in the traditional Sadeli geometric micro-mosaic technique.


The exterior features highly detailed tessellated bands of contrasting exotic woods, expertly interspersed with diamond and rectangular panels of iridescent mother-of-pearl. The lid opens to reveal an exceptionally preserved interior lid face, featuring concentric borders of micro-marquetry framing central geometric motifs.


The box exhibits an honest, unvarnished patina. It is presented in entirely original, unrestored condition, showing historic losses to the inlaid borders along the front lid edge and perimeter, as well as light surface wear consistent with age.


Condition; Aged, unrestored condition. Notable losses to the exterior lid edges and inlaid borders as photographed; interior lid inlay remains largely complete.
