Serrouj Pierced Fretwork from Souq Nhas
Each cylinder is shaped by master metalworker Abdul Jalil in Marrakech’s Souq Nhas, the copper and brass artisans’ quarter where families have practiced traditional Moroccan metalwork techniques for generations. Abdul Jalil’s Serrouj pierced fretwork method involves hand-punching and filing each star aperture into solid brass sheet before forming the cylinder, ensuring clean light transmission without filler panels or laser cutting. The raw brass finish develops a natural patina over time when placed in outdoor conditions, deepening in character with each season.
