The 'Amira' Brass & Ceramic Ceremonial Platter

This stunning decorative charger is a masterful fusion of two traditional Moroccan crafts: pottery and metalwork. A large, hand-molded earthenware platter, glazed in a creamy off-white, serves as the foundation. Over this, skilled artisans have meticulously applied an intricate overlay of brass, creating a piece of functional art that is both rustic and regal. The design features a prominent central medallion composed of geometric floral motifs, from which stylized, key-like patterns radiate outwards towards the rim. The brass itself is richly detailed with embossed filigree and studded accents. A carefully applied dark patina in the recesses contrasts beautifully with the polished golden surfaces of the raised metal, adding depth and an antique character to the piece. Hailing from the historic workshops of Fes, this charger is a testament to generations of artisanal skill. It is a substantial piece with significant visual weight, making it perfect as a dramatic wall hanging or an elegant centerpiece for a large dining table, ready to bring a touch of Moorish grandeur to your home.
