A striking vintage Moroccan wall sconce or sculptural wall shade, handcrafted in Marrakech circa 1980 from hand-painted parchment hide stretched and stitched over a forged iron framework. The dramatic inverted triangular form gives the piece a strong architectural presence. Warm ochre and parchment tones are enlivened by hand-painted red geometric and linear motifs inspired by traditional Moroccan Berber decorative vocabulary. The aged surface, visible handwork and dark iron framework give the sconce an appealing artisanal character that works particularly well in Mediterranean, Moorish, Spanish Colonial, Moroccan, Tribal Modern and eclectic interiors. The parchment functions beautifully as a diffuser when the shade is positioned over an existing wall-mounted light source, producing a warm, atmospheric glow while emphasizing the hand-painted decoration. The open iron detail toward the lower point adds another sculptural element to the design. Please note that this piece is a decorative wall shade only and contains no electrical components. It is intended to be installed over an appropriate existing wall light fitting, or it may simply be displayed unlit as a piece of Moroccan folk art and architectural wall decoration. Its substantial 16-inch height gives it enough visual presence to use individually, while multiple examples can create a particularly effective installation along a hallway, staircase, entry, covered loggia or large feature wall. Additional related examples are available. Because each was individually handcrafted and hand-painted, variations in the painted motifs, coloration and surface are to be expected; they are similar rather than exact matches. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. Dimensions: 16 in. H × 11 in. W × 9 in. D. The piece retains an attractive vintage surface with variations, irregularities and wear consistent with its age and handmade construction.

A striking vintage Moroccan Berber wall sconce shade, handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. This sculptural wall light cover combines a hand-forged iron framework with stretched natural hide parchment, individually hand-painted in rich red, ochre and yellow tones. The elongated diamond-shaped silhouette is particularly graphic, with a dark iron perimeter and central spine emphasizing the architectural geometry of the piece. The parchment surface is decorated with stylized geometric and linear motifs inspired by the visual vocabulary of traditional Moroccan Berber art, including designs associated with North African textiles, body ornament and henna decoration. The predominantly deep red surface with warm yellow and ochre details gives this example a particularly dramatic presence. Because the hide is naturally translucent, it can produce a warm, softly diffused glow when installed over an appropriate wall-mounted light source, bringing additional depth and richness to the hand-painted decoration. The shade is constructed as a decorative cover and contains no electrical components or wiring. It is intended to be positioned over an existing wall light fitting. Alternatively, its strong sculptural silhouette makes it equally compelling displayed without illumination as a piece of Moroccan wall art. Handmade construction and individually painted decoration mean that no two examples are exactly alike. Two similar shades in the same general shape and color palette are also available, each featuring a different hand-painted design. They can be displayed individually or arranged as a coordinated group along a hallway, staircase, entry, bedroom or other architectural space. The combination of aged hide, hand-painted decoration and dark iron gives the piece an authentic artisanal quality particularly suited to Moroccan, Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, bohemian and globally collected interiors. Its abstract geometry can also provide an unexpected counterpoint within a restrained contemporary setting. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, by Moroccan artisans, circa 1980. Dimensions: 17.25 in. H × 10.5 in. W × 5 in. D. Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Natural variations, irregularities and signs of hand-craftsmanship are present in the hide and painted surface and contribute to the character of the piece.
