Taru

Rooted in Hittite symbols and crafted as modern talisman, the Taru side table is made to bless your home with abundance, joy, and protection…

We designed the pouf and side table inspired by the hieroglyphs that fascinated us during excavations. The monumental form of both pieces is derived from the hieroglyphic symbol of Taru, the sky god responsible for the prosperity of the Hittite people.

The tinned copper engravings on the inner legs feature symbols from Hittite hieroglyphs, representing our good wishes for the owner. The pouf’s cushion, made of Antakya silk weaving, and the tabletop’s silver-plated brass engravings showcase geometric patterns found on Hittite sacred vases and altars. Additionaly, we wanted to incorporate the iconic imagery of the Hittite Sun Disc, crafted by silver-plated brass details.

These two pieces stand as a monument, surrounded by sacred symbols of the Hittite Empire—acting as a talisman. May our designs bring abundance and joy to your home, keeping al evil away.

As the Anatolian saying goes:

“May no harm come to your home’s prosperity.”

Care & Maintenance

Silver Care:

Each Marāu creation is meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, carrying forward the timeless legacy of Anatolia.
Its surface is finished with 33-micron 999 fine silver plating and protected with a transparent lacquer coating to preserve its beauty for many years.

Cleaning & Care

  • The transparent protective layer significantly delays tarnishing.
  • Clean only with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If needed, gently wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
  • Do not use detergents, chemical cleaners, alcohol, or silver-polishing products.

Usage Guidelines

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or heat.
  • Prevent scratches by avoiding contact with sharp or abrasive objects.
  • If the coating is compromised, please contact us for professional restoration and re-coating.

For Long-Lasting Elegance

  • Routine dusting is sufficient.
  • As each piece is made from natural materials, it may develop subtle signs of aging over time. Thanks to the protective coating, this process remains minimal and aesthetically refined.
