Sometimes we wonder if we deeply know our history, the one that made us reach the times we live now, the fact is that workdays are so busy that we don´t have time enough to stop and dive down in our past. At “Espadas de Toledo” we´ll discover interesting scraps of our history, unknown episodes and we´ll get closer to those ones to look back at our past so we can build a better world.
In our Christmas campaign, our Master Swordsmith craftsmen and artisans of damascene would like to show you their exact reproductions of historic swords and damascene jewellery, all made in the ancient city of Toledo. Because tradition and modernity can join hands without any need to sell forgeries, Chinese or Indian industrial product. Craftsmanship is art and history and it can´t ever be faked.
Among the promotions, you will find 10% off discount, in beauties like these ones:
