A highly ornate Syrian frame sheathed edge to edge in natural mother of pearl — carved woodwork, geometric panels and floral motifs all faced in shell mosaic, rising to a tall pierced crest above the mirror opening.
- Extensive mother of pearl inlay covering the full face of the frame
- Fine metal wire work intertwined through the geometric patterns and borders
- Tall openwork crest of carved florals crowning the frame
- Mirror opening measures 18 x 12 inches
The slender metal strands follow the flowers and scrolling forms, giving the frame the layered, silvery definition characteristic of traditional Syrian decorative craftsmanship.

Please note: this piece is the handcrafted inlaid frame; the mirror glass is included as a complimentary part and is carefully packed for transit. If the glass ever needs replacing, any local glazier can cut a pane to fit.
