Quality home furnishings & imaginative decor
The importance of metalwork is seen everywhere in Moroccan architecture and furnishings. Openwork grills of wrought iron decorate windows and balustrades, sturdy iron furniture is draped with fabrics and overstuffed cushions. The souks of of Marrakech, Fez, and Safi, ring with the sounds of hammer against metal as blacksmiths with skills handed down through the generations create wrought iron chandeliers, sconces, lanterns, mirror frames, grates, screens and more. The outcome of their work is a collection of metal art form that is recognised around the globe.
If you’re looking to create a rich, and distinctive décor our range of beautifully crafted solid sheesham (shisham) furniture is highly recommended. Although not as well-known as mahogany or oak furniture, sheesham is prized for its durability, moisture resistance and solidity. This traditional hardwood renowned for its beautiful variegated grain patterns, and rich colour. It is incredibly hard and very heavy which makes it ideal for bearing the wears and tears of modern family life. The range features a natural waxed finish which shows the wonderful grain finish in all it’s glory.

We are Debbie and Andy Wilkes, we both love to travel. I’m passionate about colours and fabrics, particularly saris. I love to wander round the souks of Morocco although I'm also very happy in the John Lewis cushion department. Andy is a foodie and is in charge of the food buying for the shop, and usually making dinner too. We’ve added 3 cats to the family since moving here, one that adopted us and one came out of a bin at a few hours old and had to be bottle fed every 2 hours. If you have any queries or you’d just like to contact someone real please do send us a mail, dropl in, or give us a call.
