About the Item

Handcrafted Moroccan Moorish pierced metal wall sconce shade, featuring a dramatic tapered cone form decorated with hand-cut stars, crescent moons and geometric openwork. Made in Morocco, the shade has a rich dark rust-brown patinated finish that gives the metal warmth, depth and an appealing artisanal character. The upper section is pierced with celestial star and crescent motifs, while a broad central band of repeating diamond-shaped cutouts creates a contrasting geometric pattern. When placed over a light source, the pierced metalwork allows illumination to pass through the openings, producing decorative points and patterns of light against the surrounding wall. The elongated conical silhouette draws from traditional Moorish, Hispano-Moresque and Moroccan architectural design, making the piece particularly effective in Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Moorish, North African, eclectic and globally collected interiors. Its relatively narrow projection also makes it useful in hallways, staircases, entryways, covered patios or other areas where a sculptural wall accent is desired without excessive depth. The shade measures 18 inches high × 10 inches wide × 4.5 inches deep, giving it enough presence to read as an architectural decorative element while remaining compact enough for installation in pairs or multiples. This piece is sold as a decorative metal shade only and contains no electrical components. It may be positioned over an appropriate existing wall-light fitting or displayed purely as a decorative piece of Moroccan metalwork. Any electrical installation should be completed using suitable components by a qualified professional. Multiple examples are available. Because each shade is individually handcrafted, subtle variations in surface, patina and handmade details may occur from piece to piece, contributing to their individual character. Handmade in Morocco during the 20th century.
