MUDEJAR STYLE PLATE
Toledo, an imperial city and cradle of handicrafts in Spain, is famous worldwide for its most popular craft, “Damascene”. The master artisans here are capable of creating authentic works of art with their hands, as can only be found in Toledo.
“Mudejar” is a term deriving from the Arabic word “mudayyan”, which means “permitted to remain” and it is used to refer to Spanish Muslims who continued to live in the territories conquered by the Christians and under their political control during the Reconquista, which took place throughout the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula. These Muslims were allowed to continue practicing their religion, using their language and following their customs.
ARTESANÍA MORALES offers you this:
35 cm damascene plate in 24-carat gold, chased entirely by hand by our master artisans and executed in the Arab or Mudejar style of Toledo, the most authentic handicraft style in the Toledo tradition.
It is also more challenging to execute because the geometric design is more difficult to reproduce, given that it must be symmetrical on all sides.
The plate is composed of three circular bands: the outer one, which frames the plate, has the smallest, most lavish design; the central band has 16 larger drawings, affording the greatest depth, and the smallest, innermost band comprises a 12-point star with a shining sun at the very centre of the plate.
With a diameter of 35 cm, this plate is considered one of the most striking pieces in our collection.
