Mirrors with
ceramic motives
Our mirrors are designed and
hand crafted in small quantities by an artistic outfit who searches
the Tunisian cultures of the past in an archaeological way and applies this
knowledge to its creations, with as results unique items with strong links
to Mediterranean, Arab and African cultures. They are made of wood with
Zellige ceramic motives made of resin. RAKEN features four colours
and two sizes. We also feature a few mirrors with silver thread incrusted,
crushed stone painted motives. The colours and ceramic patterns may vary
slightly from the exhibited pieces.
Pastel mirrors
To complete our collection of
hand-painted wood items, we have added the works of a very special woman
artisan who paints on wooden furniture and decorative items. The motives she
uses range from traditional Arabic jewellery, such as Khlala or Khomssa
(Fatima's hand), Berber jewelry, fish motives to flowers and vines. In this
collection, we now offer mirrors and lamps,waiting to introduce small tables
and chests.
Pastel lamp stands
As an alternative to our
numerous wrought iron and mouth-blown glass lamps, we feature a few
hand-painted wooden models. These lamps come in various colours with motives
representing traditional Arab jewellery, fishes or flowers. They are
available in two sizes. Electrical fittings are those used in Continental
Europe; light bulbs are not included.
Jewel cases ,
Wooden tea trays
Wood carving and
painting is another of the almost forgotten traditions of Mediterranean,
Arab and African artisans. They have revived these traditions with a few
unique items such as jewel-cases, tea trays and mosque lights. These items
come in various colours and sizes. It is unlikely to find two identical
pieces given the way they are handcrafted. Tea trays are decorated with
representations of Zellige ceramic motives made of resin.
