This double door is made by hand in our workshop in Marrakech. A horseshoe arch is carved across the top of both leaves, edged with a band of tiny repeating arches. What sets this door apart is the two corners above the arch. They’re cut right through the wood in an openwork pattern of curling scrolls, so light and shadow show through the carving. The long panels on each leaf hold an eight-point star set in interlacing lines. The recessed points of each star are painted a slightly brighter blue, so they stand out from the rest of the pattern.
Each leaf has a short star panel at the top inside the arch, two tall star panels, and a short panel at the bottom. The paint is a soft sky blue, worn back over the whole door so bare wood shows through on the rails, the stiles and the raised carving. At the center there are two ring pulls and a slide bolt in aged metal with a warm bronze-brown tone. They’re mounted on lobed plates with round rivets, and the drop latch ends in a small ball. Twisted rope molding runs all the way around the frame, including along the bottom.
We make every door to order. Once you’ve placed your order, send us the height and width of your door opening and we’ll build the door and frame to fit. If you’re unsure how to measure, we’ll help.

Your door is padded and packed carefully for shipping, and we’ll send tracking details as soon as it leaves the workshop.
Because each door is carved and painted by hand, the openwork, the stars and the worn areas of paint will vary a little, so no two doors come out quite the same.
