Made by hand in Damascus by Gaby Al Dayeh (Abu Boutros), who has spent more than 75 years at this craft. Read his story →
Gaby Al Dayeh is celebrated as the king of Damascene mosaic art, and this square box is his own work. It is cut and assembled by hand from walnut, rosewood, eucalyptus, beech and lemon wood, with genuine mother-of-pearl inlay set into the surface.
The interior is lined with wine-red velvet, which protects jewelry and small keepsakes.
