Cantera Stone Art and Furniture - Arte In Stone

Description

Excerpted from the website:

The art of carving Cantera Stone in Mexico has emerged over the centuries from a blend of European and Mexican cultures. The early Europeans and Mexicans combined their stone carving skills to create an architectural style that is distinctive with strong eye-appealing lines, patterns, and shapes.
Cantera is the Spanish term for quarrying stone, therefore the name “Cantera Stone” applies to a variety of shades and textures. Cantera Stone is mined and quarried in Jalisco, Hildago, Zacatecas, Pachuca, Huichapan, and Degolloto, which are located in the central and southern parts of Mexico.
