Crafting Timeless Masterpieces

Handmade Egy specializes in creating exquisite frames that are more than just decorations; they are a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Egypt. Our frames are so unique not just because of their beauty, but because of the incredible amount of time, skill, and quality materials that go into each one.

The Process:

  1. Calligraphy: The journey begins with meticulously hand-written calligraphy, often taking several days to perfect. This is not just writing but an art form that requires precision and an eye for detail, setting the foundation for the intricate designs that follow.

  2. Embroidery: Next, skilled artisans spend countless hours on embroidery, using the finest silk or purl threads. This stage can take anywhere from 150 to 200 hours, depending on the size of the frame and the complexity of the design. Each stitch is carefully placed to create a stunning visual effect, reminiscent of the techniques used in crafting the original Kaaba Kiswah.

  3. Ornate Frame Design: Finally, the frame itself is ornately designed. This involves carving intricate patterns and designs that complement the embroidered work. The time taken here varies, but the goal is always the same: to create a frame that enhances and completes the artwork within.

Why Our Frames Are Unique:

  • Labor-Intensive Craftsmanship: Each frame is a result of hundreds of hours of dedicated work by master artisans.
  • Fine Quality Materials: We use only the highest quality materials, such as silk and purl threads, which ensure durability and a luxurious finish.
  • Reviving Heritage: By purchasing our frames, you are supporting the revival of an important Egyptian craft. Egypt was historically renowned for its craftsmanship, particularly in creating the original Kaaba Kiswah, and we are proud to continue this legacy.
