Story  
This uniquely shaped fiery light in the sky originated in Fez, Morocco. The Yamama Moroccan Pendant Light is a beautiful light fitting that will revitalize your space. Hanging from the ceiling with thousands of punctured holes and a petal-like pattern along the top and bottom rims creates an absolutely stunning display that will dazzle any audience. The understated elegance of traditional and classic Moroccan pendant lighting is a sight for sore eyes, giving your space the most inviting aesthetic. This textured beauty is an exquisite example of antique Moroccan lighting. They are shaped from sheets of solid brass and chiseled patterns throughout the round body. Once lit, the light emanates a warm glow within the body around the carved patterns while projecting onto the ceilings and surrounding wall space. Our Yamama Moroccan pendant light creates a beautiful silhouette effect when lit up, evoking a classy Moroccan night vibe to your contemporary space. Crafted wholly out of brass components, this magical pendant will take you all the way to Morocco through its hand-cut arabesque motifs.

How it's Made  
1. Design Concept
  • Inspiration: Artisans draw inspiration from Islamic art, geometric patterns, and nature.
  • Sketching: Initial designs are sketched, often featuring intricate motifs and patterns.
2. Material Selection
  • Brass Sourcing: High-quality brass sheets are sourced. Brass is preferred for its durability and aesthetic appeal.
  • Other Materials: Sometimes, artisans also use glass, wood, or colored materials for added decoration.
3. Cutting the Brass
  • Measuring: Precise measurements are taken based on the design.
  • Cutting: Brass sheets are cut into the desired shapes using tools like saws or shears. Artisans may use a template for accuracy.
4. Engraving and Etching
  • Pattern Transfer: Designs are transferred onto the brass surface, often using carbon paper or stencils.
  • Engraving: Skilled artisans hand-engrave or use specialized tools to etch intricate designs into the brass. This step requires precision and artistic skill.
5. Shaping the Fixture
  • Forming: The brass pieces are shaped into their final forms, which may include bending or molding to create curves and dimensions.
  • Joining: Different components (like the base, shade, and any decorative elements) are joined using soldering techniques or rivets.
6. Finishing Touches
  • Polishing: The surface is polished to enhance shine and remove any rough edges.
  • Coating: Sometimes, a protective lacquer is applied to prevent tarnishing and enhance durability.
7. Electrical Installation
  • Wiring: If the fixture is to be electric, electrical components are carefully installed, including sockets and wiring.
  • Testing: Fixtures are tested for functionality and safety.
8. Final Assembly
  • Assembling Components: All parts are assembled, ensuring everything fits together perfectly.
  • Quality Control: Final inspections are conducted to check for any defects or issues.
9. Market Preparation
  • Packaging: Finished products are carefully packaged for sale, ensuring they are protected during transportation.
  • Showcasing: The products are often displayed in local markets or shops, highlighting their unique craftsmanship.
10. Cultural Significance
  • Throughout this process, artisans incorporate cultural elements, making each piece a reflection of Moroccan heritage and artistry.

Each step involves meticulous attention to detail, with artisans often passing down techniques through generations, ensuring that the craftsmanship remains alive in Fes.

Care  

- For general cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth.

- For more intensive cleaning, use a copper cleaner that you can find at your local hardware store, it will help remove dirt, tarnish and grease build-up, leaving a shiny, polished finish. Follow the instructions on the bottle.

- If you prefer a brushed finish, lightly sand with a Scotch Brite pad afterwards.

- For a chemical-free alternative, mix a teaspoon of salt with ½ cup of vinegar, then add flour until it forms a paste. Spread it over the brass, let it sit for an hour, then rinse and buff. This method can lighten the colour of the brass.

- To treat surface scratches, use a Scotch Brite pad to buff them, sanding in the direction of the grain. Always wear gloves to avoid fingerprints.
