An awesome museum-worth section of a cedarwood coffered ceiling from the citadel of Salé on the North Atlantic coast of Morocco, dating back to the XVIIIth. It was most likely part of the ceiling of one of the noblest rooms of a palace in the old part of town or of the upper decoration of the main entrance to the house. It shows a truly superb and detailed carving work featuring nine beautiful mihrab-shaped arches supported by amazing intricate columns referred locally to as “elephants”. The rich and tremendously skilled geometrical intertwined foliage decoration (arabesques) transport us to places such as the Alhambra palace in Cordoba (Spain). Pieces of this quality are extremely hard to come by and exceptional by all means. Certainly, an opportunity no to miss.
