The Narrative

The Soul of the Object

This spectacular ceremonial charger is a masterpiece of Moroccan craftsmanship, hailing from the historic workshops of Fes. It represents a harmonious marriage of two distinct artisanal traditions: the skilled metalwork of the brass-smith and the vibrant artistry of the enameler. The plate's foundation is solid brass, hand-hammered into a shallow bowl shape and painstakingly engraved with complex geometric and floral arabesques that radiate from a central star motif.

"Every imperfection tells a story of human hands at work."
