Khadra | Handmade Zellij Side Table

Zellij (also written zellige) is a Moroccan tilework tradition with roots going back to the 10th century. Each tile is shaped by hand using a steel hammer and chisel, one strike at a time. Then placed alongside its neighbours and set into white cement. There are no machines involved at any step. The craft is practiced in a handful of cities in Morocco. The artisan who makes these tables works in Salé, on the Atlantic coast, where the tradition has been passed from generation to generation. The tables are made exclusively for You.

Wipe with a damp cloth. Mild soap is fine. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the enamel over time. The grout lines can be cleaned with a soft brush.

The Zellij tiles are frost-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. Cover or bring inside during extended periods of heavy rain or frost to preserve the iron base.

Each Zellij table is made to order: allow 2 to 4 weeks for it to be made in Salé, then 1 to 2 weeks for delivery with UPS or a private courier, whichever is faster. All in, count roughly 3 to 6 weeks from order to your door. If it takes a little longer, because every piece is handmade and demand can run high, we will let you know by email or WhatsApp. Please include your phone number at checkout so the courier can arrange delivery with you.

Every table is checked before it leaves the atelier, then carefully protected and wrapped for transport. In the rare case it arrives damaged, send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery and we will let you know how to proceed. In any case, we will replace it free of charge.
