Product description

While there is no clearer celebration of erstwhile pomp than the Art Deco motif, our Al’Iskandariyya chair was rather modeled after an artefact picked up in Alexandria’s modest Friday market. Seemingly a contradiction at first glance, but not entirely so. A port city on the Mediterranean, the town is lovingly styled as its bride by the locals. And such a multicultural bride can only be honored by dazzling mother-of-pearl melded together by ebony and ivory, seashell and camel bone, glistening sea and gleaming desert. From Alexander the Great to the Sassanids to the Arabs, many are those that tried to claim her their own, but glorious in all her pompous contradictions she remains. And with a unique, back-bracing shape and a lush, velvet-covered cushion, our Al’iskandariyya chair, like its namesake, is welcoming, difficult to leave and always resilient. ⁠⁠
