19th Century Syrian Wedding Chest

SKU
CB068312

Impressive, grand scale 19th Century Syrian dowry wedding chest, beautifully inlaid with mother of pearl and lead wire.

The attention to detail is typical of Syrian oriental furniture, with the intricate detailing and carving giving this chest a real sense of occasion.

Chests such as this one would contain the 'dowry' of the bride as she passed into a new household, comprising a range of items from linen to jewels.They were often flat on top in order to double as a bench. 

This large chest is a truly stunning example and the craftsmanship is second to none.
