The horn and alpaca mini spreader is handmade by artisans in the province of Buenos Aires. Made from re-salvaged cow horn and alpaca (nickel silver), the horn is initially hand-carved and moulded at high temperatures. As a last step, it is carefully sanded and polished for a smooth and shiny finish.
Shades of cream and caramel meld together to create a uniquely beautiful object. The horn that would otherwise have gone to waste becomes in this way a high-end decoration product made of natural materials.
The mini spreader is a perfect blend of "gaucho chic" and traditional Argentinian design for your apéro tables.
At Morena Linda we sustainably source our products in collaboration with local artisan communities at a fair price. Together we keep their ancient skills alive.
