New Damascene Black and Gold Footed Decorative Dish Plate – Toledo Spain 24K Gold

About this piece

A striking decorative plate in the traditional damascene style, crafted in Toledo, Spain. The surface features intricate inlay work combining polished steel with 24-karat gold damascene — a technique perfecting over centuries in which precious metal is hand-inlaid into steel to create detailed patterns. The design unfolds from a central geometric motif of concentric circles and diamond-lattice work, radiating outward through borders of ornamental roundels and Greek-key patterning.

The plate sits on small feet, lifting it slightly from a shelf or wall display. Its burnished finish and the warm contrast between deep charcoal steel and rich gold give it considerable visual presence. Damascene wares from Toledo remain among the most recognisable of Spanish decorative exports, prized for their durability and timeless aesthetic. This piece arrives with a certificate of authenticity from Credan. A gentle occasional polish with a soft, lint-free cloth will keep the gold damascene gleaming; avoid harsh abrasives.
