A very uncommon, exceptionally intricate, and visually transfixing 1930s Syrian or Syrian-style wood marquetry folding card table.

Top and sides feature an incredibly complex and very well-executed Damascene or Moorish geometric mosaic design comprised of more than 5,000 exactingly hand-cut and meticulously placed marquetry pieces, with at least twenty-five different shapes and upwards of ten types of variously-colored wood on impressive display.

At each corner are eight-point stars inlaid with one of the four playing card symbols, making its primary intended purpose clear, and suggesting that this table—or at least its top—was hand-crafted for the European or American market.

On darker brown wood frame and slender folding legs with metal slide hinges. Underside of table finished in convincing faux-wood veneer contact paper with an Art Deco geometric design.
