This portrait introduces Kaseem Al-Attar, born into a House already known through trade, stored materials, and public presence. His generation would later protect the craft as the world around it began to change.
These wrapped aromatic parcels show continued orders and trusted buyer relationships around the House. Before the political world shifted, the family was still working through prepared materials, private requests, and repeat clients.
This preserved travel parcel from 1908 is connected to the House’s relationship with Hussein bin Ali, Sharif of Mecca. Rose, ambergris, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, and natural oils carried the House through trusted hands into royal attention.
