Dresser, bone and mother-of-pearl inlay on walnut wood, turn of or early 20th century.

This group of dressers is a superb example of some of the most elaborate and innovative craftsmanship in Near East furniture making. Although the name of the workshop is unknown, these one-of-a-kind pieces demonstrate a meticulous sense of detail and elegance in rendering the natural world. Referencing earthly plant forms and celestial bodies, they are also a direct testament to the early affluence and material sophistication of Near East cultures that have been flourishing for centuries.
