Maghrebi style salon set w/micro-marquetry, Fez

Created within Morocco's centuries-old Maghrebi woodworking tradition, this c1895-1915 salon set reflects a decorative history first developed for the imperial cities of Fez, Marrakech, and Meknes, where master craftsmen translated the geometric language of royal architecture into finely crafted furniture.  Not a painted decoration - instead individual cut veneers, bone, mother-of-pearl, stained fruitwoods and ebony each individually assembled and labor intensive.  Primarily cedar construction - each piece with a classic North African curved gallery form.  Available as a set - will separate pairs of chairs upon request.
