MOORISH STYLE

After the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the eighth century, Islamic Spain became a cultural mix of influences that shaped both private homes and religious spaces. Moorish design was the name given to this style, which evolved through the 15th century with vibrant tile work, horseshoe arches and lavish ornamentation, most visible at sites such as Granada’s Alhambra and the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. Moorish furniture was often similarly ornate, and featured pieces inlaid with wood, ivory and bone.

When European designers began studying Moorish art and architecture in the early 19th century, it led to a Moorish Revival. Appropriating the style’s decorative flourishes and architectural elements, it promoted a romantic view of Islamic design. Travelers could bring home a memento of what they witnessed in the Middle East, a trend that aligned with a fad for themed interiors. Men’s smoking rooms arranged with ottomans, divans and settees and inlaid tables were especially popular, as were cafés where coffee was served amid bead curtains and colorful floor mats. (Handwoven rugs are a centerpiece of Moorish interiors.) Octagonal rooms with domed ceilings were created for wealthy homes, frequently with furnishings like pipe stands, filigree plasterwork and arched doorways. The horseshoe arch is an iconic attribute of Moorish architecture that, in addition to Spain, can be found in Sicily, Morocco and elsewhere.

Several late 19th to early 20th-century movements featured Moorish touches. The American and English Aesthetic Movement, for example, borrowed liberally from global decorating styles, as seen in furniture designed by Lockwood de Forest, a New York-born artist who mixed Eastern and Western forms. The visual vocabulary of Art Nouveau also references the elegant use of geometry in Moorish design, with Milanese Art Nouveau furniture designer Carlo Bugatti drawing inspiration from the style. The Arts and Crafts movement, which prized expressive yet simple design, incorporated Moorish influences; hand-painted furniture and tile work created by William De Morgan, a British designer and potter who made furnishings for the likes of Morris & Co., were informed by techniques from Moorish Spain.

Moroccan Moorish Granada Clear Glass Bronze Lantern Pendant, Marrakech 1990s
Moroccan Moorish Granada Clear Glass Bronze Lantern Pendant, Marrakech 1990s

Moroccan Moorish Granada Clear Glass Bronze Lantern Pendant, Marrakech 1990s

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

An exceptionally architectural Moroccan Moorish Granada pendant lantern, handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. This smaller-scale version of the classic Granada lantern combines intricate metalwork with multiple tiers of faceted clear glass, creating a jewel-like hanging fixture with remarkable visual depth and presence. The lantern measures 23 inches high by 14 inches in diameter, making it particularly versatile for spaces where a monumental Moroccan chandelier would be overwhelming. Its compact proportions work beautifully in an entry, powder room, dressing room, bedroom, hallway, kitchen, covered loggia or as a series of pendants installed above an island or along a corridor. The elaborate silhouette is constructed through eleven distinct architectural levels, each incorporating angular metal framing and multifaceted clear glass panels. The succession of projecting and recessed tiers gives the lantern its distinctive Granada-inspired profile, recalling the geometric architecture and ornamental vocabulary associated with Moorish and Andalusian design. When illuminated, the numerous clear glass surfaces catch and reflect the light from different angles, giving the fixture a luminous, almost diamond-like quality. Unlike colored Moroccan lanterns, the use of clear glass gives this example a sophisticated neutrality that allows it to integrate easily into Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, Moorish, Moroccan, Islamic, eclectic and contemporary interiors. The metal framework has a warm dark bronze-tone finish with naturally aged patina, complementing the transparency of the glass and emphasizing the lantern's complex geometry. Each fixture was individually handcrafted by artisans in Marrakech using traditional metalworking and lantern-making techniques, and subtle irregularities are characteristic of handmade Moroccan craftsmanship rather than machine production. A discreet hinged access panel allows the interior bulbs to be changed without dismantling the fixture. The lantern has been restored and rewired for American use with an interior cluster accommodating three candelabra-style bulbs. Hanging chain and ceiling canopy are included, and the chain length can be adjusted or additional chain supplied according to the installation requirements and ceiling height. The fixture is intended for indoor use or a protected covered area and should not be directly exposed to rain or severe weather. Multiple examples are available, making this model particularly attractive for designers requiring a coordinated series of Moroccan lanterns for a hallway, covered arcade, staircase, kitchen, hospitality project or Mediterranean-style residence. Presented in good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and handcrafted construction. There is some natural patina and oxidation to the metal as well as minor scratches and irregularities to the glass. A highly decorative yet remarkably versatile Marrakech-made Moroccan lantern, combining traditional Moorish craftsmanship with a sophisticated architectural form and jewel-like clear glass. Lantern body: 23 in H × 14 in diameter.

Vintage Moroccan Moorish Multicolor Glass & Pierced Metal Hanging Lantern, 1980s

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

A beautifully handcrafted vintage Moroccan Moorish lantern featuring jewel-toned multicolor glass set within an intricately pierced metal framework. Made by skilled artisans in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980, this decorative lantern combines traditional Moroccan metalworking with amber, emerald green, lavender, cobalt and pale blue glass to create a richly atmospheric piece of North African lighting. The lantern has a distinctive faceted geometric form, measuring 18 inches high overall and 8.5 inches wide and deep. Its architectural silhouette is composed of multiple angled sections, with colored and textured glass panels alternating with pierced metalwork. The upper and lower sections are particularly attractive, featuring openwork geometric Moorish patterns designed to allow light to escape through the metalwork. When illuminated from within, the combination of translucent colored glass and pierced metal can produce a warm jewel-like glow while projecting subtle patterns of light and shadow onto nearby walls and ceilings. The effect is characteristic of traditional Moroccan lighting and makes the lantern especially appealing for interiors where atmospheric illumination is important. A small hinged door provides access to the interior. The lantern is currently not wired for electricity. It may be displayed with an appropriate candle or LED candle, or professionally wired for electrical use by a qualified electrician in accordance with local requirements. The upper hanging loop allows the piece to be suspended as a Moroccan pendant lantern or decorative hanging light. Its relatively compact scale also makes it particularly versatile for an entryway, powder room, bedroom, reading alcove or grouped installation. It can also be incorporated into a wall-mounted installation with suitable professional hardware. The combination of aged metal and colored glass gives the lantern the collected character particularly desirable in Moroccan, Moorish, Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial and eclectic interiors. It also provides a strong artisanal counterpoint within contemporary spaces, where its sculptural geometry and jewel-toned glass can function almost as a suspended decorative object. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980. Dimensions: Overall height from upper loop through lower finial: 18 in. Width: 8.5 in. Depth: 8.5 in. Lantern body / glass shade: approximately 12 in. H × 8.5 in. W. Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The aged metal surface contributes to its authentic vintage character. Not currently wired for electricity.

Large Moroccan Moorish Pierced Brass Pasha Chandelier, Alberto Pinto Style
Large Moroccan Moorish Pierced Brass Pasha Chandelier, Alberto Pinto Style

Large Moroccan Moorish Pierced Brass Pasha Chandelier, Alberto Pinto Style

By Alberto Pinto

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

An impressive large-scale Moroccan Moorish pierced brass Pasha chandelier, handcrafted in Marrakech and inspired by the sumptuous Orientalist interiors associated with Alberto Pinto and other great 20th-century decorators. Two matching chandeliers are available, offering a rare opportunity for a symmetrical installation in a large dining room, gallery or double-height interior.” Measuring 33 inches in diameter, this dramatic chandelier has a broad, architectural silhouette reminiscent of an inverted crown or ceremonial Moroccan basin. Its generous proportions, elaborate metalwork and warm golden surface give it considerable presence whether illuminated or viewed simply as a sculptural decorative object. The chandelier is constructed from polished brass that has been meticulously hand-hammered, chased, pierced and worked in repoussé by Moroccan artisans. Thousands of small perforations form intricate arabesque and foliate patterns across the radiating panels, transforming the metal surface into delicate lace-like openwork. When illuminated, light filters through these pierced patterns, creating the atmospheric play of light and shadow for which traditional Moroccan lighting is celebrated. The upper perimeter is particularly elaborate, finished with a series of tall pierced palmette and arabesque cresting elements. These ornamental flourishes give the chandelier its distinctive Pasha-like grandeur and reinforce its connection to historic Moorish and Islamic architectural ornament. Set throughout the brass body are decorative milky-white hand-blown glass cabochons and elongated glass inserts. Their softly translucent surfaces contrast beautifully with the polished golden brass and become luminous accents when the chandelier is switched on. The lower portion terminates in a deeply modeled, pierced brass finial, completing the chandelier's symmetrical sculptural profile. Handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco, circa 1980s, the chandelier represents the highly skilled metalworking traditions for which Moroccan decorative lighting is renowned. Each pierced opening and chased detail was individually worked, giving the fixture the subtle variations characteristic of artisan-made objects. The chandelier measures 32 inches high including the existing three-chain suspension × 33 inches in diameter. The decorative brass shade/body itself measures approximately 20 inches high. Additional chain can be supplied or added as required to accommodate different ceiling heights. The fixture has been rewired for use in the United States and is ready for professional installation. Its substantial 33-inch diameter makes it particularly suitable above a round dining table, in an entry hall, library, salon, bedroom or beneath a high ceiling. It would be equally compelling in a Mediterranean, Moorish, Spanish Colonial, Moroccan, Orientalist or sophisticated contemporary interior. Two chandeliers are currently available. The listed price is for one chandelier. Used as a pair, they would be especially effective in a long gallery, large dining room, double-height entrance or symmetrical architectural installation. A highly decorative example of Moroccan Islamic metalwork, combining pierced brass, repoussé decoration, hand-blown glass and the theatrical scale associated with luxurious Orientalist interiors. Dimensions: 32 in H × 33 in diameter Body / Shade Height: approximately 20 in Quantity Available: 2 Sold As: Individually — price is for one Style: Moorish / Islamic / Moroccan In the Style of: Alberto Pinto — not attributed to Alberto Pinto Materials: Brass, hand-blown glass Techniques: Hand-crafted, hand-hammered, hand-chased, pierced, repoussé, polished Place of Origin: Morocco City: Marrakech Period: Late 20th Century Date: circa 1980s Power Source: Hardwired Voltage: 110–150V Electrical: Rewired for U.S. use Condition: Good vintage condition; wear and patina consistent with age and handcrafted production.

Vintage Moroccan Berber Hand-Painted Red Hide & Iron Wall Sconce Shade, 1980s

Vintage Moroccan Berber Hand-Painted Red Hide & Iron Wall Sconce Shade, 1980s

By Berber Tribes of Morocco

Located in Moreno Valley, CA

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.
