This window is made by hand in our workshop in Marrakech. Two wooden shutters sit inside a wide carved frame, and a horseshoe arch is carved across both of them, edged with a scalloped, braided band. Dark round-headed studs follow the curve of the arch, run down the center of each shutter, and form a border around the lower half, with a double row across the middle. It’s the studded look you see on old shutters and doors across Moroccan medinas. The upper corners outside the arch are carved with curling leaf motifs.
The frame is the other main feature. It’s wide and divided into small square sections, each one chip-carved with its own geometric design: stars, sunbursts, crossed triangles and half-wheels. The outer edge is cut into a notched, stepped border all the way around. The wood has a warm, medium-brown finish that shows the grain. The hardware is brass-tone. There’s an engraved slide bolt with a drop latch and a keyhole-shaped slot, a small latch on the left shutter, and a turn catch below the bolt.
Every window is made to your measurements. After you order, send us the height and width of your window opening and we’ll build the shutters and frame to fit. If you’re not sure how to measure, we’ll help you.

Since everything is carved by hand, the patterns in the frame, the spacing of the studs and the grain will vary slightly, so each window has its own character.
