A handmade Moroccan brass wall sconce designed to turn light into shadow art.

Handcrafted in Marrakech by Maalem Mehdi Ba. of Mehdi Brass Workshop, this sculptural Moroccan wall light is made from brass shaped by hand and pierced with an intricate floral and scrolling openwork pattern. Once illuminated, the cutouts allow light to pass through the shade, projecting a changing pattern of light and shadow across the surrounding wall.

Unlike a conventional wall light that simply illuminates a room, this Moroccan brass wall sconce becomes part of the atmosphere itself. During the day, the warm brass shade works as a decorative architectural accent. At night, light passing through its pierced surface creates depth, movement and texture across the wall.

Handcrafted in Marrakech

Made by hand in Marrakech

The shade begins as a sheet of brass. According to Maalem Mehdi Ba., who makes this piece, the decorative pattern is drawn onto the metal by hand before the openwork is pierced and the brass sheet is shaped into its final form.

The technique is locally referred to as Tekhram, a term used by the maker for this type of pierced and openwork metalwork. The result is a piece with the small variations expected from handmade craftsmanship rather than the completely uniform appearance of a mass-produced light fixture.

Morocco has a longstanding tradition of brass and copper metalwork, with Marrakech among the country's important centers for this type of craftsmanship. Traditional Moroccan metalwork can be seen throughout the city's souks, including finely worked lighting and decorative objects.

Why the light is special

The defining feature of this sconce is not only the brass itself, but what happens when light passes through it.

The pierced openings break the light into intricate patterns across the wall, creating a warm and atmospheric effect. The resulting shadows change depending on the distance from the wall, the surrounding light and the position of the fixture, giving the room a sense of movement after dark.

Where it works

Use this handmade Moroccan wall sconce as an accent light in a bedroom, hallway, entrance, living room, reading corner or other interior where you want the lighting itself to become part of the décor.

Its warm natural brass finish works particularly well with plaster, natural wood, stone and textured walls, as well as Moroccan, Mediterranean, eclectic and contemporary organic interiors.

A note about handmade variation

Because the shade is made by hand, small differences in the piercing, shaping and surface finish may occur from one piece to another. These subtle variations are part of the character of handmade Moroccan metalwork and mean that each piece can have its own individual character.
