Moroccan wrought iron is beautiful! I love living here!

I Love wrought iron designs. I live in Morocco and am surrounded by lovely wrought iron on just about every window, door, gate, and fence in my small village.

Our Wrought Iron Window

Most of this wrought iron is not for protection because even the apartments on the third floor have their windows decorated and the windows facing our interior courtyards are resplendent with beautiful grills.

The Moroccan people love the symmetry and delicacy of wrought iron designs. They love the way the shadows fall on the walls and stone floors when the sun slants into the windows in a certain way. Most of the year I get the sun coming into my south-east windows each evening and it’s lovely.

Moroccans also love wrought iron wall art. They use it for mirrors, wall sconces, picture frames, curtain rods, and just as for decoration. You can’t enter a Moroccan home without finding several pieces of wrought iron used as wall decor.

Lovely Wrought Iron Mirror

This lovely mirror is just one example of the imaginative and hand-wrought pieces you’ll find in a typical Moroccan home. In fact, it’s not unusual to find mirrors in virtually every room in a Moroccan home and a variety of different sizes of photograph frames, candle holders, both on the wall and free standing, scattered throughout the home.

Other popular items, that are as practical as they are beautiful are the wrought iron chandeliers and lamps.

Many lamps, like this one, are made with a wrought iron base. First the artist builds the frame and then he stretches treated goatskin over the frame. Lastly, the lamp is hand-decorated with Henna.
