This elongated brooch is crafted using the damascening technique, one of the oldest and most representative artisanal traditions of Toledo, Spain, where it is known as Toledo gold. Damascening involves inlaying delicate threads or sheets of 24-karat gold onto a steel or brass base, creating intricate and unique patterns.

This piece is distinguished by its ornamental engravings depicting floral and geometric motifs, characteristic of Toledo art. Its elongated, arrow-shaped design and central details lend it an air of timeless elegance. It is a work that unites history, tradition, and beauty in a single object.

History of damascening:
Damascening has a history spanning millennia, originating in the Middle East and Asia, and was later adopted by Spanish artisans during the Muslim era. Toledo became the epicenter of this technique, which reached its peak during the Middle Ages. This craft was used to decorate weapons, jewelry, and luxury goods, establishing itself as a symbol of sophistication and wealth.

An ideal gift for collectors.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
