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.
