This olive wood serving set, composed of a fork and a spoon, is handmade by a Palestinian artisan from Bethlehem. Each piece reflects ancestral craftsmanship passed down through generations, uniting beauty, utility, and cultural meaning.
The olive tree holds a sacred place in Palestine. It symbolizes roots, memory, and resilience. Its deep roots represent the attachment of Palestinians to their land, while its long life embodies continuity despite hardship. By using olive wood at your table, you bring a living fragment of Palestinian heritage into your home.
Every set is unique. The natural veins and shades of the wood create patterns that cannot be replicated. More than utensils, these objects combine elegance and functionality, elevating your meals with warmth and authenticity.
Choosing this set means supporting Palestinian artisans and preserving a tradition that carries both beauty and identity. It is not just a practical tool, but a meaningful piece of culture, heritage, and resilience.

Palestinement offers you a variety of products from different vendors in Jerusalem’s Old City.
We group these vendors under the label “Old City Vendors” because, at this stage, we don’t offer enough varied products from each of their shops to create separate categories for them.
It is vital to support them: Palestinian shopkeepers in Jerusalem face significant discrimination compared to other merchants. They are burdened with heavy taxes, excluded from state aid, and subjected to constant harassment by the police and tax authorities. On top of this, they are discriminated against when it comes to access to tourists — their main source of income. Most tourists are accompanied by Israeli tour guides who strongly discourage them from buying from Palestinian shops, falsely claiming that doing so would fund terr*rism.
For all these reasons — and many more — let’s support them and help keep the living heritage of Jerusalem’s Old City alive!
