Moroccan pillar lantern

The Souks of Morocco are a labyrinth composed of shops, stalls and street sellers hawking every conceivable type of merchandise. By day, the Souk is a cacophonous riot of sights and sounds, a crowded summit accommodating all ages of buyers, sellers, and spectators of humanity.  It is not just a place to do business, but to see business in all its guises. However, in the evening the complexion of the Souk changes entirely. Lively public displays give way to other pursuits. The aroma of flowers and spices fill the air like incense. Behind the shutters of closed shops and nearby apartments one can hear kids laughing as well as being scolded in between animated conversations. As the night wears on, the conversations become softer, even muffled, and eventually most lights go out. Those that remain tender a warm, intimate glow as if they are shimmering behind a thin, silken veil. It is pure romance – right out of a movie set.

This week’s new arrival features our Moroccan wax lantern. Made of beeswax, it is really a thick, non-scented, reusable wax cylinder, deeply embossed and painted with our own design referencing classical Moroccan motifs. Simply place a scented PRIMITIVE votive inside and instantly you can unveil the sight, scent – and romance – of a glowing Moroccan night.
