I

The Brass Menagerie

Birds and beasts cast in brass — the long-necked waders and quiet horses that stood on Moroccan sideboards for half a century.
II

The Tea Ritual

Vessels made for pouring, offering and welcome. Chased and engraved by hand for the ceremony that opens every Moroccan door.
III

Light & Flame

Oil lamps from the years before the switch on the wall — copper, brass, enamel and honeyed glass.
IV

Hearth & Desk

The working objects: a grinder that still turns, a brass hand that has held a century of paper.

Why these, and not others

We buy the
hand, not
the century

Age alone is easy to find. What is not easy to find is evidence of a person: the planishing marks left by a hammer, a garland cut freehand into a horse's neck, the moment a chaser's line wanders a hair and then recovers.

Everything here was chosen for that. Eleven objects, each one of one, each still doing — or capable of doing — the job it was made for.

01

Chosen by hand

Bought one at a time, in person. Nothing sourced from a container.

02

Told straight

Wear, losses and repairs are written into the listing, not out of it.

03

Packed properly

Double-boxed, insured, tracked. Glass and enamel travel separately.

The house

An arch, a palm,
a star and a floor

Our crest is a small inventory of Morocco. The keyhole arch that frames every doorway from Fez to Essaouira. The palm that marks water. The eight-pointed khatim, the seal, the same star struck into the centre of the tray in this collection. And beneath them the zellige floor, laid tile by tile, which is where Moroccan geometry begins and ends.

We put it on everything we sell because it is a promise about the kind of object we are willing to put our name to.

Questions

Before you order

How does cash on delivery work?

You place the order on the site without paying anything. We call you to confirm, then the piece is delivered to your door and you pay the courier in cash.

How much is delivery?

Delivery is free anywhere in Morocco.

Do you deliver outside Morocco?

Not through the site for the moment. If you live abroad, write to us from the Enquire page and we will see what we can arrange.

Are the pieces really old?

Every piece is chosen by hand and described honestly. Dating and attribution are our considered assessment based on form, technique and finish, and any wear or repair is written into the listing.

Can I return a piece?

If a piece is not as described, tell us within fourteen days and send it back in its original packing for a full refund.

Eleven pieces. Then they are gone.

Take one home

When a piece sells it is not restocked. That is the whole proposition, and the only honest one for objects like these.
