El Palacio Damasceno is one of Syria's longest-established furniture companies, born in the heart of the ancient city of Damascus. Syrian artisans were renowned throughout the ancient Islamic world for their work. The technique of intarsia, which produces the familiar and captivating Mosaic-like pattern, was perfected in Damascus and spread eastwards to Persia and India and west to Africa, Andalusia and into Europe. A classic example of intarsia can be seen today in the marble floor of St Peter's Basilica in Rome. Today, Syrian furniture is instantly recognizable for its distinctive quality and heritage. Whether sculpted, inlaid with mother of pearl or utilizing intarsia to create an astonishing 3-dimensional effect, Syrian furniture immediately speaks of the exotic Orient and the mysteries of the East. Only El Palacio Damasceno can bring you these exquisite works of art. We specialize in beautifully crafted furniture, made locally in Syria, using traditional techniques handed down through generations. Choose from beautiful cabinets and clothing chests, armchairs and tables, or uniquely patterned mirrors. We look forward to giving your home a touch of Damascus.
