La Fuente Imports Lowers Shipping Rates Nationwide To Bring You First-Class Rustic Furniture And Interior Decor Pieces From Central And South America

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, June 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) La Fuente Imports, a major seller of rustic furniture and interior decor pieces from Mexico, Central and South America is now able to provide their clientele with lower shipping charges throughout the United States. "Thanks to having been able to add more carriers to our already existing fleet, we are now able to offer our clients more competitive rates to fit their budgets", stated Andy Fuentes, owner of La Fuente.

From Mexico, La Fuente Imports offers their clientele incredibly beautiful and hand-crafted rustic furniture lines as well as home accessories such as tin mirrors, hand-loomed Zapotec rugs, relaxing Mayan hammocks and the original world-famous Talavera ceramic plates, pottery and tiles.

From Peru, the owner has chosen items which include tapestries which recreate detailed scenes of Andean culture in every weaving. The stunning depictions incorporate vibrant colors made from natural dyes consisting of local minerals and plants, and can be detailed enough to have field of depth in their scenes. Other pieces include clay figurines and "retablos" - small to medium sophisticated, portable wooden boxes depicting religious figures or everyday activities. During the wars of the High Middle Ages those Catholics involved in The Crusades, and fighting away from home, would carry these boxes with them in order to be able to worship whenever there was no church to attend in the region. These retablos were also used by Catholic priests to teach the local Indians about religion through stories and visual imagery.

La Fuente Imports also carries Nicaraguan home decor artifacts in its exciting collection of assorted decorative pottery, as well as Pre-Columbian era pots. The function of these small pots was originally used temporary household storage. Throughout the years these practical pots and their unique designs have also become fine pieces of art.
