SET OF 2
These one-of-a-kind beauties come to us from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where each one was handmade by a skilled craftsman using shiny silver alloy and natural bone sustainably sourced from local cow herds. Rather than being mass made in a factory, each piece is carefully crafted in either a cooperative shared workshop or in a maker’s own home. This, along with the bone’s inherent variations in shape and hue, makes each finished product completely unique. Perfectly sized to hold a standard taper candle, our Alpaca Holders would look striking as a pair on the dining table or mixed in with tealights and other earthy accessories on the mantel for a collected feel.
Story:
The “alpaca” used for making trays in Argentina refers to a type of metal alloy, commonly known as nickel silver or German silver. This alloy does not contain actual silver but is typically composed of nickel, zinc, and copper. In contrast, “alpaca” from an animal refers to the natural fiber obtained from the alpaca animal, commonly used in the production of textiles and fabrics.
