Moroccan pierced metal lights are far more than simple lighting objects. They embody a way of life, a warm atmosphere, and artisanal mastery passed down through generations. On Online Medina, each lamp, pendant, or candle holder is a unique piece, handcrafted by Moroccan master metalworkers. Discover the richness of this luminous craftsmanship.
A centuries-old tradition
In Morocco, light plays a central role in the art of decoration. Pierced patterns turn each light source into a poetic play of shadows and reflections. Inspired by Arab-Andalusian and Berber traditions, these creations stem from meticulous know-how, where each opening is cut by hand using small saws or chisels. The metal is then hammered, polished, and sometimes engraved to reveal its full brilliance once the lamp is lit.
A variety of shapes and styles
The collection features a wide range of formats and silhouettes. Among the most iconic:
- Egg-shaped lamps, soft and organic
- Drop-shaped lamps, elegant and elongated, ideal as central pendants
- Oriental globes, pierced with floral or geometric patterns
- Wall sconces in chiselled metal for a soft, diffused light
- Sculpted candle holders, true decorative pieces even without a flame
Each piece is designed to create a soft, subdued ambiance while adding an authentic Moroccan touch.
High-quality materials, handcrafted
These lights are generally made from brass (yellow copper) or a silver-tin alloy — two materials appreciated for their durability, elegant patina, and light-reflecting properties. The metal is worked by hand, often from 0.8 mm thick sheets, and then pierced with floral, geometric, or vegetal motifs. Some pieces are polished to a shiny finish, while others are left matte for a more raw effect.
Decorative and functional lighting
These lights do more than just illuminate a room — they transform it. Placed in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, they cast a soft glow ideal for creating a warm atmosphere. Pierced candle holders are perfect for romantic dinners or as decorative accents on a shelf. Whether hanging or freestanding, each piece becomes a focal point in your space.
