Mother-of-Pearl Chest with 5 Drawers

£6,500.00 £5,200.00

Hand crafted, fully salt-water mother-of-pearl inlaid chest of five drawers finished in walnut, featuring bone edging and intricate fine metal alloy surrounds. Bow fronting means the back of the piece is wider than the front.

The stunning gloss finish on the salt-water mother-of-pearl marquetry forms a beautiful hand crafted pattern unique to each piece of furniture. Similar items are also available with an unusual matte-finish freshwater mother-of-pearl inlay.

Each element of the nacre design is outlined with a filigree of fine metal alloy.

Authentic Syrian sustainably-sourced walnut wood is used to create the main frame of the furniture and is hand-carved and finished leaving the grain of the wood visible. The piece is then edged in fine carved bone which contrasts with the matt-finish on the salt-water mother-of-pearl.

Size:140cm(w)x110cm(w)x55cm(d)x150cm(h)
