Set/7 Camusso Peru Sterling Silver Place Card Holders

Description: Vintage Set/7 Camusso Peru Sterling Silver Place Card Holders - Lots of LlamasUp for offer: Dating to the 1950s/1960s or so, may I offer this set of 7 Sterling Silver (hallmarked as pictured) place card holders by the Peruvian firm of Camusso. Designed as a single llama, the holder rises from the saddle on the back of the pack animal. Height is 1-1/8"; length at the base is 1-3/16"; width is 3/4". Combined weight of the 7 is 44.8 grams. Condition of all 7 is very nice with no problems I can spot. One of the holders has a label on the bottom that explains how the holders are covered in a protective layer of anti-tarnish. Well, to me, some of the pieces do show tarnish - 70 years in a box will start a tarnish process no matter what. The holders will be shipped in the green velvet box they were found in which is from Camusso but is more of a bracelet box then a place card holder box. If you like llamas, this is a really cute set of silver figures. The Camusso silver company was founded in 1933 in Lima, Peru by Italian silversmith Carlo Mario Camusso Grasso. Arriving from Italy, Carlo found immediate work in a metal factory however conditions were not conducive to his health and he sought refuge in the town of Huacho where he met fellow metalworkers who inspired him to start a business. Regaining his health, Carlo sent for his Italian girlfriend and set up shop on the Avenida Cuba de Jesús María. Carlo Mario Camusso S.A. (est. 1946) made almost 100% of the silver items located in the region. Soon, his name became synonymous with Peruvian silver all over the world. Carlo retired in 1957 and left the factory to the husbands of his two daughters: the Italians Siro Tonani Ricci and Alberto de Gasperi Orsetto. The husbands ventured into goldsmithing and jewelry and now, Camusso - Platería y Joyería Fína has stores in Peru as well as 13 other countries. The Camusso factory exports gold and silverware, jewelry and accessories to a total of 22 nations. 6646RV/SCH#939b/AQQ Postage quoted for this item includes insurance.
