This
traditional silverware manufacturer was founded in 1933
by an Italian immigrant, Carlo Mario Camusso. By combining
the millenary tradition of Peruvian silver craftsmanship
with refined European techniques, he managed to transform
his small factory into a renowned company, which today
produces some 3,600 different objects, from cutlery
and tea sets to cigarette boxes and cocktail shakers.
Expect elegant and classic silverware, with prices rather
on the expensive side.
You
can arrange a free tour of the factory, just call them
at 425-0260/65 to schedule a visit (Av. Oscar R. Benavides
679, Lima centre, Mon-Fri 8am-4.30pm). Other stores
within Swissotel and El Pardo hotels, and Ripley department
store (Jockey Plaza).
