A Moroccan mashrabiya mirror frame that joins two Syrian crafts in one piece: the luminous shellwork of the mother of pearl inlayer and the turned latticework of the mashrabiya joiner, combined into a single architectural crest 46 inches tall. A striking focal point, and a rare pairing even within the tradition.
Please note: this piece is the inlaid frame — mirror glass is not included. Any local glazier can cut glass to fit.
- Authentic mother of pearl inlay: countless hand-cut pieces of genuine shell set into intricate geometric and star patterns, whose natural iridescence catches and reflects the light.
- Traditional mashrabiya latticework: finely turned wooden spindles form openwork panels that give the frame depth, with dark and light stained wood highlighting their delicate construction.
- Rich dual-stained finish: solid wood, the two tones emphasising the three-dimensional quality of the carving and inlay.
- Ornate hand-carved details, particularly across the crest and the surrounding motifs.
- Mirror space measures 22 × 23 in (55 × 58 cm).
It suits a living room, dining room, entryway or bedroom, and sits naturally in traditional, eclectic and bohemian interiors alike. Built with traditional techniques, it is made to last for generations.
