GOLD FROM TOLEDO" artwork or "Damasquino" (DAMASCENE) RAMOLAYÉ PUNCED ORNAMENT is a kind of ancient ornament made with gold thread orplate on hardenedsteel or iron; it was used specially for decoring military weapons like swords, daggers and firearms. In addition to its swords, Toledo is renowned for its damasquinados, or damascene handicrafts and costume jewelry. Damascening is the Moorish art of inlaying gold or silver threads into black steel in a decorative pattern. The skill was used to decorate plates, jewels and weapons. The damascene procedure requires creativity and the steady hand of a surgeon on small pieces. Artisans first use sharp tools to scratch the pattern into the black steel. They then push the gold or silver threads into the grooves and use a hammer to make sure the threads stay in place. The art of damascening has been around for centuries. The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans are known to have practiced it. Around the15th century, it grew in popularity in Europe and came to prominence in Toledo. An old master artisan from Toledo told me several years ago: “The gold is gold. But the work is more important than the gold.”

Regarding the suggested master craftmanship, the artist Felipa Guisasola:
in 1875, at the age of 23, the first reference to Felipa Guisasola appeared in the national press, praising her work and predicting a successful career for the Eibar artist. Married to the Eibar damascener Lorenzo Zaragozano Arguiano, between 1880 and 1887 they had three children: Emilia, Miguel and Juan. Lorenzo died in 1887, leaving Felipa a widow at only 35 years old. Until then, they worked together on different works and opened “Casa Felipa”, their own workshop and exhibition store on 14 Arenal Street in Madrid. During the time she lived in Madrid, Felipa garnered countless awards and merits, of which the most relevant were the following: In 1879, FIRST PRIZE from the Geographical Society of Madrid In 1883, she received a DIPLOMA OF HONOR at the National Exhibition of Mining, Metallurgical Arts, Ceramics, Glassware and Mineral Waters.
