These mirrors began with an idea by Sa’ad, a Palestinian merchant in Jerusalem: to collect old hand-embroidered traditional Palestinian dresses, some more than 100 years old, in order to preserve their embroidery and give it a new life.
Sa’ad then entrusts these antique textiles to Ibrahim, a Palestinian artisan originally from the mountainous region surrounding Al-Khalil (Hebron). Ibrahim carefully selects and works with fragments of antique tatreez, transforming them by hand into decorative mirrors.
Rather than reproducing traditional motifs on new fabric, each creation preserves a genuine fragment of an old Palestinian dress. The embroidery frames the mirror, turning each one into a decorative object carrying a piece of Palestinian textile history.
As every mirror is made from different fragments, each piece is unique. The mirror you receive may therefore show slight variations compared with the one shown in the photos.
By choosing this creation, you directly support the work of Sa’ad and Ibrahim while helping to preserve and pass on Palestinian textile heritage.
Gently clean the mirror with a soft cloth.
Avoid getting the antique embroidery wet.
Do not rub the embroidery.
