This window is made by hand in our workshop in Marrakech. The shutters are painted a bright azure blue and brushed with white along the grain, which gives them a sun-faded look. The two shutters close into a horseshoe arch outlined with a braided band. The band’s raised carving is picked out in white, and so are the curling leaf motifs in the two upper corners. Dark round studs trace the arch and run in a double line down the center seam. They form a double row across the middle and a double border along the bottom.
The frame is wide and carved in square blocks of stars, half-wheels, crossed lines and small battlement shapes. Every raised surface is painted white and the cuts are left blue, so the frame reads almost like a band of blue and white tile. The outer edge is finely notched and painted blue. At the center there’s a brass-tone slide bolt on three brackets. Its engraved drop latch ends in a small ring.
Every window is made to your measurements. After you order, send us the height and width you need and we’ll build the shutters and frame to fit. If you’re not sure how to measure, we’ll walk you through it.

Each window is padded and packed carefully for shipping, and we’ll send tracking details once it’s on its way.
Because the carving and the white brushwork are done by hand, the streaks, the white highlights and the stud spacing will vary a little from piece to piece.
