The manufacturing of these exclusive Toledo pieces in Spain is very slow. The artisans chisel an original composition on a metal base, where 24-karat gold threads are later embedded. The metal surface is corroded and then the piece is lacquered, carbon polished and engraved.
We love the patina of time, but if you don't like it, you can spend a little time cleaning it and it will be perfect. see the photos.
The condition is good, with signs of use. It is not new, please see the photos, which are an important part of the description.
