Hand-forged copper from Mexico

Handmade lamps, sinks, sinks and bathtubs made of wrought copper are the quintessence of sophisticated style, drawing on the centuries-old tradition of Mexican artisans. Today's makers of forged copper accessories refer in their works to the history of local Indian craftsmanship from pre-Columbian times. In the golden age of forged copper, the town of Santa Clara del Cobre, famous for its bowl-making, was made almost entirely of copper craftsmanship. However, the decreasing demand for everyday copper items and for hand-forged artistic decorations over the centuries meant that by the 20th century the number of craftsmen, or rather artists, who made them using traditional methods, significantly decreased.
Thanks to the efforts of local artists organizing numerous exhibitions in the middle of the last century, hand-forged copper gained a new group of fans, and items made using the traditional method began to flow out into the world again from the town of Santa Clara del Cobre. It is thanks to their determination that today copper bathtubs, washbasins and lamps decorate interiors all over the world in an original way.
