DYD TOLEDO www.dydtoledo.com

Hall 6 Stand C247

The damascening art, which consists in inlaying noble

metals on iron or steel, has its origin in similar works

that go back to ancient times. Damascene-style work is

said to have been practiced by the ancient Egyptians,

Greeks and Romans, but was developed into a high art

by the craftsmen of Damascus, Syria more than 2,000

years ago. It was first introduced to Spain by the Moors

who conquered the peninsula in 711 AC (Al-Andalus).

Toledo, so open through the centuries to the aesthetics

and cultural contributions of various cultures and

people, maintained this amazing tradition thanks to the

vocation and ability of its master craftsmen.
