Elongated brooch made using the damascening technique, one of the oldest and most representative artisan traditions of Toledo, known in Spain as Toledo gold. Damascening consists of embedding delicate 24-carat gold threads or sheets on a steel or brass base, creating intricate and unique patterns.
This piece is notable for its ornamental engravings depicting floral and geometric motifs, characteristic of Toledo art. Its elongated arrow-shaped design and details in the centre provide an air of timeless elegance. It is a work that combines history, tradition and beauty in a single object.
History of Damascening:
Damascening has a thousand-year history, originating in the Middle East and Asia, and was later adopted by Spanish craftsmen during the Muslim era. Toledo became the epicentre of this technique, which reached its peak during the Middle Ages. This craft was used to decorate weapons, jewellery and luxury items, consolidating itself as a symbol of sophistication and wealth.
An ideal gift for collectors.
