Moroccan Hand-Painted Lidded Urn with Brass Metalwork

Size: 23"W x 48"H x 23"D - (Mouth Opening: 10"W)

SKU#: VA135

A monumental Moroccan lidded urn in the Marrakech tradition, hand-painted in a polychrome palette of cobalt blue, turquoise, oxblood, ochre, and ivory over a warm cream ground, and richly clad with bands of hand-hammered brass metalwork at the dome and shoulder. The painted decoration carries the classical Moroccan vocabulary of palmette tendrils, geometric strapwork, and stylized lotus motifs in disciplined registers from the finial down to the base. The urn is crowned by a domed lid with a hand-formed finial.

A statement vessel meant to stand alone as sculpture. Ideal as a floor-standing piece flanking a fireplace, an entry console, a doorway, or anchoring a corner of a designed room. Equally suited to traditional Andalusi, Moorish revival, bohemian, and Mediterranean interiors.
