Step into a world frozen in time, where style meets tradition, with this evocative artwork that captures an unforgettable moment in Marrakech’s ‘La Mamounia’ Hotel. In the frame, staff adorned in distinct Fez hats ascend the grand staircase, forming an honor guard for the hotel’s manager, Jacques Bouriot, poised elegantly in an open carriage. The scene is nothing short of an orchestrated ballet, set against the backdrop of one of Morocco’s most iconic hotels.
Beyond its compelling narrative, this masterpiece by Slim Aarons lends itself beautifully to any living space that seeks a touch of vintage glamour and international allure.
