I · The city

The Homes of Old Baghdad

Maison de Baghdad is a contemporary expression of Iraqi elegance, shaped by the beauty, hospitality and generosity of Baghdad.

Inspired by the city's historic homes, ornate balconies, warm interiors and the tradition of welcoming guests with something sweet, the Maison turns cultural memories into a refined experience.

II · The balcony

The Balcony of the Maison

Our mark is drawn from the shanasheel, the carved balconies of historic Baghdad. More than an ornament, the balcony is the home itself: a place of culture, warmth and generous hosting.

  1. Symmetry & Balance

    Both sides mirror each other, for a sense of order, refinement and timelessness.

  2. The Arches

    Drawn from the carved window frames of Baghdad's historic houses.

  3. The Curtains

    Drawn back, as they are when a guest is expected.

  4. The Ironwork

    The craft of the balcony rail, worked by the city's artisans.

  5. The Crown

    An ornamental crest finishing the façade, as it did above old doorways.

  6. The Open Window

    An invitation: the home as a place of culture, warmth and generous hosting.

III · Something sweet

The Tradition of Welcome

In Baghdad, no guest arrives to an empty table. Before the conversation begins there is coffee, and beside the coffee something sweet, offered with both hands.

Every box we make is prepared for that moment at the door.

“Maison de Baghdad does not simply recreate the past; it reinterprets Iraqi heritage for a new generation.”

A taste of Baghdad, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully reimagined.
