Brass Pear Table Lamp – Pierced Arabesque Gold

Sculptural Light from the Heart of Marrakech

The brass pear table lamp brings a gourd-shaped silhouette and shadow-casting warmth to bedside tables, console surfaces, and reading nooks. Handcrafted in polished brass by master metalworker Abdul Jalil at Souq Nhas in Marrakech, each piece is individually pierced using the traditional Serrouj fretwork technique — producing hundreds of precise cutouts that project intricate arabesque shadow patterns across walls and ceilings when lit.

Crafted at Souq Nhas, Marrakech

Every brass pear table lamp begins as a flat sheet of brass in the workshop of Abdul Jalil at Souq Nhas, Marrakech’s historic copper market. The artisan traces Serrouj fretwork patterns by hand, then pierces each opening individually with a small chisel — a technique unchanged across generations of traditional Moroccan metalwork techniques. The resulting arabesque cutouts, framed by circular medallion accents, cast layered shadow patterns that shift with the angle and warmth of the light source. A curved brass stem finial crowns the gourd form, giving the lamp an antique-perfume-bottle silhouette that reads as a sculptural object whether lit or unlit.

Styling and Care

Pair a single lamp on a bedside nightstand or flank a console with two for balanced symmetry — the warm gold finish complements both neutral and jewel-tone palettes. Wipe the brass surface gently with a soft dry cloth; avoid liquid polish or abrasive pads that can scratch the pierced openings. Available as a single lamp or a pair through our wholesale Moroccan products programme. For coordinating pieces, explore the full Brass Lamps collection and broader Moroccan lighting collection.
