EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of G & G Nassan & Co., a renowned furniture and Oriental objects manufacturing business based in Damascus, Syria. The full staff of the company is gathered in the spacious workshop, surrounded by an impressive array of intricately crafted furniture and decorative objects. At the heart of the scene stands the company's esteemed boss, flanked by his dedicated team of skilled carpenters and craftsmen. Their faces reflect a deep sense of pride and concentration as they work on various pieces, showcasing their mastery of the traditional craft. The children in the photograph add a charming touch, suggesting that this family-owned business may have been passed down through generations. The workshop itself is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Damascus as a hub for craftsmanship and artisanal production. The warm, inviting atmosphere is filled with the scent of fresh wood and the sound of hammers striking against wood, creating an enchanting symphony of creation. The meticulously crafted furniture and Oriental objects produced by G & G Nassan & Co. were not only cherished by the local community but also sought after by travelers and collectors from around the world. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, providing a glimpse into the lives of the dedicated artisans who played a crucial role in preserving the centuries-old traditions of Damascus craftsmanship.
