What is a Berber tray?
A Berber tray is an authentic piece of Berber craftsmanship hand-woven by female artisans in Morocco. Each tray combines dried palm leaves (doum) and natural, chemically untreated wool yarn. The result is a creation with geometric tribal patterns and shimmering colors that bring an ethnic touch to your interior.
Berber tradition is reflected in every knot, every weave. Unlike industrial productions, no two trays are identical: this is precisely what makes their charm and value.
Composition and materials of the Berber tray
The authentic composition of a Berber tray is based on two noble and durable materials:
- Doum: dried palm leaves, flexible and resistant, forming the woven structure
- Wool: natural untreated yarn, providing color and strength to the weave
These materials are entirely natural and environmentally friendly. Doum, in particular, offers a natural patina that deepens with time, while wool retains its original luster with minimal maintenance.
Dimensions and formats of the Berber tray
The Berber trays offered by Tifinagh Shop come in several dimensions, adapted to your needs and available space:
- Size S: approximately 20 to 27 cm in diameter, ideal for a table tray or decoration for small spaces
- Size M: approximately 40 to 50 cm in diameter, a versatile format for a serving tray or a large catch-all
- Round or rectangular format: depending on your aesthetic preference and use
- Custom dimensions: Tifinagh Shop offers personalized orders at no extra charge, allowing you to choose your exact dimensions
The indicated dimensions are approximate (±) to account for the artisanal nature of the weaving. If you only remember one point about choosing a size, prioritize the serving surface: for an aperitif for two, a size S is sufficient; to host several guests, opt for a size M or larger.

- Serving tray: tea service, aperitif tray for friends, elegantly transports your drinks
