Mirror, mirror on the wall...who has the most beautiful mirror in the whole country? We have a small selection of even more beautiful mirrors and if you love Moroccan craftsmanship, you've come to the right place.
The "Hand of Fatima", also called "Khmissa", is still used as a protective symbol in North Africa today. In this case, a small mirror was integrated, making the Khmissa doubly useful :). It is also widespread in other oriental countries. It is said to protect against envy if it contains an eye in the middle - and also against the "evil eye". We think it has a decorative effect. Which is why we attach it to doors or walls where it is clearly visible. According to popular belief, the "Khmissa" should be visible anyway, because otherwise its protection is ineffective.
We think that's a good fit.
Well, whatever the reason for needing the Hand of Fatima, it looks great and adds a mystical touch to your surroundings. It is perceived as a thoughtful gift. So if you want to give a gift to someone special close to you, then go for the symbolic "Khmissa". The Moroccan Khmissa mirror gold is one of those mystical objects that will give your living space an original touch.
Fine chiseling, oriental patterns and beautiful shapes characterize mirrors from L'Orient. We travel to Morocco two or three times a year to have these mirrors made in Fes and Marrakesh. We always work with the same artisans, who we get to know better over the years. This type of production simply gives us joy and we hope to pass on a spark of this joy to you.
The route of Moroccan handicrafts to Europe or overseas is becoming increasingly popular as oriental ornamentation is becoming increasingly popular. The artisans in Fes are ambassadors for a tradition that is hundreds of years old and is passed down from generation to generation.
For those who want to bring a part of this culture into their living room, our online shop is there for you.
Have fun with it. :)
