ARTISANS SPOTLIGHT

Handed down from father to son, damascene skills and craftsmanship consist of intricate engravings with silver/gold inlay on metal, steel in particular, creating fine patterns and  Arabesques. The damascene workmanship reached its peak during the Moorish ruling of Andalusia and the Iberian Peninsula.

The  Essaidi family continues to keep this historic heritage alive and thriving in the Kingdom of Morocco and lead the way for generations to come, as evident by the family's awards and recognition worldwide.

The Moroccan Room  & Palais Damasquini work closely together to create amazing designs and inspirations, but most importantly to preserve the trade and know-how by providing a support network for local artisans and apprentices.
