The Craft is probably the oldest art developed by man. So from the Bronze Age (4000-1200 BC), when in the Middle East discovered the technique to alloy copper and tin and created the first ornamental objects made of metal (jewelry and tribal stamps), we can say that there is craftsmanship in metal. Throughout the centuries, different cultures around the world as the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians, Phoenicians and Celts, and later Greeks and Romans created and developed various techniques and methods for working metals like copper, bronze and silver.
The Metal Embossing technique dates back to the Celtic people of Hallstatt (700-500 BC), who highlighted mainly by the discovery and utilization of iron, and by that time sístulas Estense used in its trade hammered bronze trade with the Etruscans.
The fruit of centuries of knowledge and experience, coupled with the discovery of new materials make the time to do our work we combine the ancient techniques and methods of treatment and metalworking, with the most innovative tools and materials, all this in order to perpetuate the noble and ancient art of Metal Embossing.

Embossed Religious Art
Working in metals is an ancient cultural tradition from ancient times it worked fine pieces in this material, but it is in the Middle Ages when it reaches a high artistic and aesthetic maturity.
The work in relief on metal sheets (aluminum, tin, gold, silver, copper etc.) Or embossing is a technique that comes from Europe and is derived from sacred religious images painted on tables. From the twelfth century embossing began to gain importance because these images (icons) were sold to the devotees, but due to environmental conditions where these were placed the paintings eventually lost its luster and hue. Following this he began to cover them with metal to protect them from contact with the environment and people.
After being used this art form was abandoned for several centuries, but in the early twentieth retake st century beginning in Europe, with its peak in France, where he became an industrial activity, which is not only limited to icons, technique spread to other decorative objects and commonly used as frames, trays and lamps. Unfortunately, it again lost interest in embossed work, until recently in Mexico and in Spain resurfaced.
