CASA CHIQUI, DECORATION BOUTIQUE
Traditional Moroccan rectangular mirror, handmade from wood using the artisanal technique of marquetry, decorated with gold metal and bone inlays featuring figures representative of Moroccan culture. The inlay technique is an ancient art form that requires skill and time to execute. Each artisan can take several weeks to craft these pieces using animal bone, which is shaped by cutting, grinding, and sawing each piece by hand to fit a specific design. Colored resin is applied with a trowel over the entire surface. The resin and bone are sanded until smooth and then polished to give them the finishing touch. This process and the natural materials give each piece a distinctive personality.
