detailed design

Peru's millenary traditions inspire Alejandro Chávez in the colorful design of this retablo mirror. The door opens to reveal four detailed scenes featuring handcrafted ceramic figurines harvesting tuna (prickly pear), selling hats, a village dance and the nativity scene. The middle panel contains a mirror.

Representing the proverb, "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil", these three delightful figurines are a fun addition to home or office decor. Zoila Davila in Peru designs the trio, which is crafted from ceramic and painted with careful attention to detail.

The artists of the Huaman Paucar family use clay as their inspirational canvas, elaborating stunning patterns with a precise blend of colors. This decorative jar bespeaks Andean heritage, each detail at once serene and empowered, sure to impress any décor with its kiln-fired perfection. A timeless statement of handcrafted beauty.

As each piece is crafted individually, the product received may vary slightly in its color and design.

The radiance of the solar star inspires the Huaman Paucar Family to design their own version of the Intihuatana stone. Meaning "Hitching Post of the Sun," it is found at Machu Picchu's highest point. Some believe the Inca carved several of these stone outcrops to connect earth and sky; other's believe it was a way of tying Father Sun to his Inca children. The Huaman Paucar Family honor this legendary emblem of Inca spiritualism with a handcrafted ceramic plate, which they paint with intricate detail.

The ancient Inca Empire was not only great in terms of administration but also in terms of art. Often called Quilca, a term used to design pictograms and petroglyphs that illustrated the Andean worldview, those artistic expressions adorn today Rolando and Luis's newest creation. Crafted in Peru, this gorgeous ceramic decorative vase goes through a long process that ensures a high-quality piece. The final touch is in the hand-painted details made by the artisans, who use elegant shades of black, red, yellow and green to capture the Empire's magnificence in each geometric icon.

This handcrafted wall mirror by Alejandro Chavez is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that seamlessly blends the artistic traditions of Ayacucho, Peru, with contemporary decorative elements. Its wooden frame, meticulously hand-carved and painted, bursts with vibrant colors and delicate floral designs that elegantly frame the central composition. At its heart lies the mirror itself, radiating light and adding visual depth while reflecting not only its surroundings but also the profound cultural and spiritual connection of the Andean people to their heritage. Surrounding the mirror, intricately hand-molded and painted ceramic figurines bring to life everyday and festive scenes from rural Andean life: farmers working the land, musicians playing traditional instruments and dancers dressed in vivid regional attire. Adding further dimension, the piece prominently features a nativity scene and a depiction of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, each rendered with exquisite detail and reverence.
