Syrian Octagonal Walnut Side Table with Mother of Pearl Inlay

A finely crafted Syrian octagonal side table (tarabiza) in dark walnut, elaborately worked with dense geometric arabesque carving across every surface. The octagonal top features a central eight pointed star medallion surrounded by interlacing geometric panels, with small mother of pearl inlay accents at the centre and border. The pierced apron base continues the decorative scheme with trefoil and horseshoe arch cutouts and additional mother of pearl floral motifs, all raised on scalloped bracket feet.

A handsome example of the Syrian decorative woodworking tradition, with strong geometric patterning and restrained mother of pearl detailing that lend it an elegant, architectural quality.
