This paper documents and describes original motifs from the ‘ajami panels in the red qa’a of the Ghazalyeh house in Aleppo, Syria and identifies the styles of their motifs. All floral motifs are listed in a typology table with their corresponding codes. The Ghazalyeh House built in 1691 was refurbished in 2007 and transformed into a historical museum. From 2009-2011, they restored its ’ajami panels. However, during the war in old Aleppo city in 2013 these ‘ajami panels were stolen. Information from this paper can be used to better understand and ultimately restore the Ghazalyeh house's original ‘ajami panels.
