Almost half the way is a small workshop where still beats the heart of the craft in a very good smell of wood. Behind one storefront, we can admire the work of marquetry: cutting, assembling… Only natural adhesives are used to make objects. The Sleiman brothers are actually wholesalers and retailers. We can buy all kinds of objects there: safes of all sizes and shapes, gaming tables, frames, boxes with or without mother's length… Work among the best in Damascus!
