This single door is made by hand in our workshop in Marrakech. Almost every surface is carved with motifs from Amazigh woodwork: comb-like emblems, chains of almond shapes with spirals, rows of half-circles, zigzags and concentric rings. A horseshoe arch is carved across the upper part of the door. The corners above it are cut with fine triangle lines, and above that runs a band of small scalloped half-circles. The panels are built up in layers of golden honey wood, pale cream raised details and a cooler grey-brown. That mix of tones gives the door a lot of depth.
Inside the arch, the top panel shows two small arched windows on either side of a column of rings. Below it, two wide panels each hold a symmetrical comb-shaped emblem. The center of the door has a tall panel with a wavy, spine-like shape dotted with rings, flanked by narrow strips of diamond lattice. Three long horizontal panels fill the bottom half, and every rail between them is carved with a herringbone pattern. The frame is cut with a dark triangle grid, and its posts extend slightly below the door. On the left side there’s a large traditional box lock in a brass tone, its plates engraved with diamonds and crosses.
Each door is made to measure. After you order, send us the height and width of your door opening and we’ll build the door and frame to fit it. If you’re not sure how to measure, we’ll walk you through it.

Every door is padded and packed securely before it ships, and we’ll send you tracking details once it’s on its way.
Because this door is carved entirely by hand, the motifs, the depth of the cuts and the tones of the wood will vary slightly, so each one is a little different from the next.
