Syrian ornately carved and inlaid desk, 20th c., elaborately chip carved crosshatching and scrolling foliate registers, accented by mother-of-pearl inlay, four short drawers centering long drawer, on turned legs joined by X-stretcher, approx 31.25"h, 63.25"w, 31.75"d

7.15.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3257-The desk is finished all the way around, condition is overall clean with little wear, inlay appears present throughout and carvings remain crisp, I observe only some sparse tonal variation, minor wood rubs, and small nicks, drawers show light wear to the interior, they slide well, however are a bit tight and would likely benefit from a waxing (it may be from all of the humidity here recently), there is a small hole located at the right trim piece on the finished side, see image, overall all mentioned minor and commensurate with use
