Toledo damascene Animated HTML website template

The sample page

Hilo & Pavón. Damascene workshop in the Antequeruela, Toledo.

The idea

A blued steel plate on the workbench is the hero, and the cursor is the bench lamp that makes the hammered gold glint.

What to try

Watch the plate get scored, inlaid and blued; then move the cursor (or a finger) over it and press “Another pattern” to see ataurique foliage and a Renaissance border.

Made for

Damascene and metalwork studios, jewellers, craft armourers, quality souvenir shops and decorative-arts museums

Cultural notes

• Original patterns (Mudéjar strapwork, ataurique, Renaissance border), with no copied pieces or coats of arms, no Arabic script and no religious symbols.
• Real craft details: chisel scoring in three directions, 24-karat gold, bath bluing, burin chasing and agate burnishing.
• Shine comes from physical light (the gold reflects the lamp and the workshop), with no decorative sparkles.
