Thuja Boxes

Walking in the narrow streets of Essaouira the aromatic scent coming from the thuja workshops is unmissable. Thuja carving is one of the main crafts of this UNESCO protected town.

Thuja (pronounced Thuya) is a genus of coniferous trees in the Cupressaceae (cypress family). The wood of thujas is light, soft and aromatic.  Thuja wood is greatly prized for the variations of patterns in the grain and the resin like aroma.

Craftsmen work an allocated quantity to maintain the survival of the trees which grow in the countryside nearby.
Our thuja boxes can be used for storing jewellery or other small items.

Moroccan Amber Resin Pots

Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30–90 million years old. Amber is extensively used for beads and other ornaments, and for cigar-holders and the mouth-pieces of pipes. It is regarded by the Turks as specially valuable, inasmuch as it is said to be incapable of transmitting infection as the pipe passes from mouth to mouth. The variety most valued in the East is the pale straw-coloured, slightly cloudy amber.

Ideal for storing rings or earrings. 4cm diameter and 4 cm high.
