Large Middle Eastern Moorish Turkish Mother-of-pearl Inlaid Chest

About the Item

A large Turkish mother-of-pearl inlaid chest inlaid throughout to show foliate scrolls and geometric forms, raised on four legs. From the 16th century onwards the dominant influences in Islamic woodwork were those of the Ottoman Turkish Empire which controlled formerly independent territories such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, North Africa and Syria and of the Safavids and Qajars of Persia. During the course of the 17th century both Persia and Turkey became characterized by an increasing use of color and flamboyance of motif, which is evident in the sumptuous geometric marquetry designs of this box.
