Hand-Hammered Copper Lantern from Marrakech Souks

In the metalworking quarters of Marrakech, Hassan shapes copper with the same rhythmic precision passed down through generations of craftsmen. Each strike of his hammer creates subtle facets that catch and scatter light, while hand-etched glass panels filter illumination into soft, amber patterns across your walls.

What Makes It

• Hand-hammered copper with natural patina that deepens with time
• Etched glass panels create gentle, diffused lighting
• Traditional Moroccan design with geometric motifs
• Adjustable chain suspension adapts to your ceiling height

The Craft

Hassan learned his trade in the souks of Marrakech, where metalworkers have shaped copper and brass for centuries. His 25 years of practice show in each carefully placed hammer mark and the precise geometry of the lantern's form. The copper develops its own character over time, shifting from bright polish to rich, mellow tones.

Details

The lantern measures 50cm in height with a 35cm diameter, ideal for dining rooms or entryways. Wiring accommodates standard bulbs and includes ceiling mounting hardware. The copper surface bears the natural variations that come with handwork.

What's Included

Copper and glass lantern, adjustable chain, ceiling mounting hardware, and care instructions for maintaining the copper's natural beauty.
