What Damascus Box is known for

Damascus Box commissions Old City artisans, including named craftsmen such as Mohammad Tarek Aldahh, to make trays, boxes and mirrors inlaid with walnut, lemonwood and mother-of-pearl in traditional geometric patterns. Each piece is handmade in Damascus and dispatched with a certificate of authenticity from the company's Berlin base.
