Exotic treasures with intricate patterns, tones

Stroll through a Moroccan bazaar in search of exotic treasures — saturated and sultry, dripping with savory spice tones and all the rage even in the United States. Intricate patterns bring to mind exquisite Moorish tile work, while motifs from the Far East ad their own unique flavor.

	The Cypress pendant combines hand-finished brass fretwork with blown glass to create an alluring piece by Architects & Heroes ($375). MM 11-A-1
828 International’s Bellwood rug updates traditional scroll and floral motifs with bold colors and an overall linking diamond pattern in this hand-tufted, 100% washed wool rug ($499, 5x8). 6-F-1 and 3
	Talisman, a catalytic fragrance lamp from Les Provencales Ambiences, pairs a brilliant crimson glass body and a gold-finished cap reminiscent of the arches at Alhambra ($44). MM 7-O-15
The Kenya arm chair from Designer Wicker by Tribor is handmade from rattan core and woven rattan peel ($325). MM 11-E-1

These beautiful designs have crossed so many boundaries of the past few years. The intricately patterned objects were once only found in the homes of worldly travelers, but now have been re-interpreted for people of all ages. Teenage girls flock to the richly colored textiles for bedding and the glittery baubles to accessorize their rooms. They may not understand the origins of the patterns, but they can appreciate their beauty.
