Historical Handcrafted Syrian Mother of Pearl Portrait Frame – 1942 Dated Portrait - H20" x W17"
 
A truly rare and evocative piece, this authentic Syrian portrait frame is a masterwork of natural walnut wood and intricate mother of pearl inlay. The frame showcases the signature geometric mosaic style of Damascus, with luminous pearl accents that provide a luxurious contrast against the dark, rich walnut grain.
Contained within is a remarkable hand-rendered portrait of a Syrian man named Moner. This historically significant piece is hand-signed and dated February 5th, 1942, with a touching personal inscription: "(for you Mouner, gift from your friend)." Standing at 20 inches tall, this item serves as both a museum-quality example of Middle Eastern craft and a poignant time capsule of mid-century friendship in the Levant.
