On my very first trip to Morocco, I saw these luminaries dotting the path up to my riad (guesthouse) in Marrakech. The path to the front door glowed warmly as flames danced through the luminaries, casting ornate shadows onto the ground and walls…and so began my love affair with photophores. I tucked one in my suitcase on the return trip home and was barraged with requests from friends who were equally smitten. Seriously, how can you not love something that’s at once both beautifully simple and effortlessly elegant? These brilliantly colored paraffin luminaries are embellished with hancrafted inserts in a variety of traditional Moorish designs, each made from nickel, copper or native thuya wood.
Enjoy instant ambience by placing a tealight candle in the center of the luminary. Since the luminary itself is not exposed to flame, they last indefinitely. A welcome housewarming gift or a treasure for your own home… use them to line garden paths, accentuate stair cases, surround the bathtub or ring the pool during your next party.
A note of caution: Be certain to place luminary on a flat, stable surface and never leave candle burning unattended. Keep out of reach of children and direct sunlight.
