Vintage Syrian Marquetry-Mosaic Inlaid Wooden music Box.

Bring a touch of Old World craftsmanship into your home with this beautiful Syrian mosaic inlay box, handcrafted in Damascus using traditional marquetry techniques. Each small geometric piece is individually set by hand, creating the classic star-and-diamond Syrian pattern that has been passed down through generations of artisans. The music begins playing automatically when the lid is lifted, adding a nostalgic and charming touch to the piece. This box features: ✨ Handmade wood marquetry inlay in warm walnut tones ✨ Classic Syrian geometric patterns throughout ✨ Red lined interior with traditional cord detail ✨ Raised wooden feet for a refined, elevated look ✨ Perfect for storing jewelry, keepsakes, letters, or displaying on a bookshelf or entry table While some antique Syrian boxes command much higher values, this one is a mid-century export piece (1980–2010) — authentic, handcrafted, and beautifully detailed, but made for everyday use rather than museum-level collectors. It offers the perfect blend of history, craftsmanship, and function without the antique price tag. A gorgeous decorative piece for anyone who loves global-inspired decor, vintage woodwork, or meaningful handmade items. Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The original music mechanism is no longer installed, but the box still closes and displays beautifully.
