More Than a Craft: A Legacy

Abu Boutros was fifteen years old when his father said, “You will work with me.”

Seventy-five years later, he still stands at the same workbench in the old city of Damascus. Gaby Al Dayeh is one of the last master craftsmen of Damascene mosaic art, and every box that leaves his workshop carries a lifetime of patience in its joinery.

“As long as my hands can move, the art will live.”

FAQ

Where is Damascus Box located?

We are based in Berlin, Germany. Every piece is handcrafted in Damascus by independent master craftsmen and shipped to you from Berlin, so customers in the EU never pay customs or import fees.

How do you ship, and how long does delivery take?

All orders are shipped with DHL GoGreen, carefully packed by hand and prepared within 1–2 business days. Delivery takes 2–4 business days within Germany, up to 8 business days in the EU, and 14–21 business days worldwide. Need it faster? Express delivery with DHL Express or UPS Express arrives in 1–4 business days worldwide. Every order includes tracking.

How is my order packaged?

Every piece is placed in a soft velvet pouch, wrapped in protective paper, and nested in wood wool for cushioning during transit. It's packaging that's secure, sustainable, and ready for gifting straight out of the box.

Is every piece really handmade?

Yes. Each piece is handcrafted with passion and so much patience by master craftsmen in Damascus, some with more than 75 years at the workbench. No two pieces are ever identical: the wood grain, the mother-of-pearl, the hands that made it, all one of a kind.

How do I know my piece is authentic?

Every Damascus Box piece ships with a numbered certificate of authenticity, individually registered. It documents the piece, its materials, and its origin in Damascus.
