This was our first and largest commission back in 2021 and we were absolutely delighted to have been given the opportunity to create this for a unique and wonderful client. This Mihrab is housed within a listed Victorian era church and has all the original architectural structures intact. Viewing this Mihrab is an absolute treat and is mesmerising to see in person.
Our client requested The Throne verse in Kufi script to be machined into the walnut and we combined this with our very own butterfly design calligraphy above the arch. The upper arch has the words ‘La ilaha il’Allah’ and ‘Allah u Akbar’ written in Kufi script. Our client decided not to oil finish their Mihrab as they preferred the product to change colour over time which is a nature of some hardwoods.
The Mihrab, Minbar and bookshelves have some of the most detailed carving we have ever carried out to date. InshAllah this Mihrab is one to last for generations.
