Moroccan Lamps

If you have never seen true Moroccan lamps you are really missing out! These lamps are hand made using techniques that have been around for centuries and have been handed down from generation to generation. They are beautiful creations that are made of animal skin (typically sheep or goat) stretched around handmade wrought iron frames and then intricately decorated by hand using henna and colored paints.

Moroccan lamps are vibrantly colored using typical Moroccan colors, such as red, yellow, orange, or blue. It makes the lamps look like magical glowing lights reminiscent of Aladdin.
