Brass Egg Shaped Table Lamp — Pierced Fretwork Gold 12″

Handcrafted Egg-Shaped Brass Table Lamp

This brass egg shaped table lamp brings the centuries-old metalwork traditions of Marrakech’s Souq Nhas into your home. Hand-pierced with Serrouj fretwork by master metalworker Abdul Jalil, each lamp features precisely cut spiral patterns that project flowing shadow compositions across walls and ceilings when lit. The polished brass finish catches and diffuses warm light through the intricate piercings, creating an ambient glow suited to bedside tables, console surfaces, or bathroom vanities.

Craftsmanship and Origin

Each lamp is shaped and pierced by hand in the Souq Nhas quarter of Marrakech, where Abdul Jalil’s workshop has produced brass lighting for decades. The Serrouj technique — a method of hand-drilling and filing spiral geometric patterns into brass sheet — requires practiced precision to cut each opening individually without mechanical stamps. Traditional Moroccan metalwork techniques like Serrouj have been passed through generations of Marrakech metalsmiths and remain central to the city’s artisan identity.

Styling and Care

Pair this egg-shaped lamp with neutral bedding for a calm bedside glow or place it on a dark wood console to let the brass warmth stand out. The compact 12-inch height fits nightstands and shelving without dominating the surface. A set of two creates balanced symmetry on either side of a bed or mantel — an approachable housewarming gift for someone furnishing a first home. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners on the polished brass surface. Browse the full Brass Lamps collection and our wider Moroccan lighting collection for complementary pieces.
