Argentinian crafts, aborigine crafts

The Argentinian crafts we offer are a synonym of warmth and good taste. The experimented hand of the artisan has represented the colors of our soil in the aborigine crafts, which recall customs and true values of South American native people.

We have selected special Argentinian crafts which highlight places at home with noble materials, echoing our native culture with distinction and style.

We have a wide variety of Argentinian crafts designed in leather, wood, glass, goldwork, and stone. We have outstanding weavings made of llama and lamb wool, creative carved wood pieces, ceramic pots of varied pottery colors and fused glass objects of colorful combinations.

The batik pictures, tapestries and antique blankets evoke customs and myths of North-Argentinean people. The Argentinian crafts made in goldwork and stones like rodocrosite are valuable artisan works, and they constitute a perfect option for enterprise gifts.

Among the textile crafts, Argentinian crafts made in looms are represented in beautiful puyos- which are short, typical ponchos-, or warm, colorfully woven blankets of llama hair and lamb wool. You will also find exclusive pieces of clothing woven in looms.

We will be happy to advise you about the varied, representative aborigine crafts from Argentina. Whenever you choose buying Argentinian aborigine crafts, you are not just validating the dedicated job of the artisan in our country, but also our ancestral culture, a legacy from early aborigines and precursors to pre-Columbian art.

Mecenas was thought with the idea of valuing Argentinian crafts, and showing our country’s craftsmanship, so rich in diversity, textures and designs, and yet not as well known and identifiable as it deserves to be.

We intend to be a show window to different artisans and indigenous communities and their manual works. Far from being products of a mere job, they have become works of art. Historical tradition and antique methods of fabrication fit together with modern techniques to keep the beauty and quality of the artists’ aborigine crafts.
