Syrian handmade for Wunderley – Chest of Drawers – 3 Drawer Dresser

Exquisite, rare, museum quality Wunderley, a very high end retailer in Pennsylvania that sells middle eastern and Moroccan furniture. They are featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Veranda amongst other design publications. For sale is a mother of pearl inlay chest of drawers. It retails for $9750 on their website. It is a reproduction of Syrian craftmanship borrowed from the Ottoman empire in Turkey. The Damascene artisans adapted the style to their own. As with most Islamic art, repeating geometric and floral patterns are prevalent. This design is known as “stambouli,” meaning floral design. As the changing light of the day into night passes over this unique piece it shimmers and glows with all the subtle hues of rare pearlescent. The sides are lined with exotic bone. The icing on the cake is a heavy piece of white marble (no scratches or markings). In fact, the entire piece is in excellent condition. This is for the designer looking for that unique piece for their client, the rare collector or those who can appreciate artistry and sublime beauty in a functional piece. It is a piece of furniture that will increase in value over time. The back has a tag from Wunderley stating “Wunderley – Handmade in Syria”. Please email for more pictures or with questions. Serious inquires only. Pick up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan – High 90’s btwn Madison and 5th Avenues in an elevator building. Asking Price: $7250. Thank you for looking!
