About the Item
This is an exceptional and rare Damascene-style living room, a complete set featuring elaborate inlay work with mother-of-pearl and exotic woods. These pieces are typical of Syrian or Middle Eastern crafts of the late 19th or early 20th century, often referred to as Moorish style.
The set consists of five pieces: a bench (or sofa), two matching spindle-backed armchairs with armrests, and two matching hexagonal stools that serve as occasional tables.
Each element is made of walnut, richly decorated with the marqueterie (inlay) technique. The inlays feature complex Moorish geometric and floral motifs, made from segments of mother-of-pearl, bone and different wood species.
The style is distinctly Syrian/Damascene, a traditional art form that has centuries of history and has been very popular in Middle Eastern aristocratic homes. This type of furniture is considered a unique work of art, combining functionality and intricate design.
Excellent condition, with slight signs of time attesting to its authenticity and historical appeal.
This set represents a unique opportunity for buyers looking for an exotic, visually striking piece of furniture with a rich cultural heritage. Each piece is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that can become the focal point of any room.

Barocchetto Italiano (DAL 1720 AL 1780)
With the economic decline of the Italian aristocracy, the smaller proportions of Rococo furniture lent themselves to update the furnishings of the palace. Furniture was produced, mainly in the Veneto, with a typically Baroque formal layout, but with more minute proportions and more elegant decorative modules typical of Rococo furniture that did not contrast with the old Baroque scenographic furniture. This style, which spread throughout the peninsula, was called Italian Baroque. Venice, already renowned for its painted and lacquered furniture, was the center of the development of this style, where it lasted well beyond the mid-eighteenth century.
In addition to the Veneto, furniture in this style was built by the Genoese cabinetmakers heirs of Anton Maria Maragliano (1664 - 1739) and in Piedmont, where the productions of Luigi Prinotto (1706 - 1790) and Pietro Piffetti...
