[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 652444, member: 2844"]Welcome Noha. The inlay has a lot of bone and some wood, which is more typical of North Africa, or even Cordoba, Spain, former Moorish territory. The diagonal banding is also seen a lot in Cordoba. Syrian style pieces would have more mother of pearl and more inlay. I don't think it started out life as a desk. Maybe a vanity table, ca 1890-1900? Where are you located? Just so we can get a better idea of the origin.
