Tin Smith of Malveira | Latoaria da Malveira



Master Tinsmiths for more than a hundred years, the Faustino family has kept the tin smith tradition in the family for four generations. The tin shop, located on Santa Filomena street, in Malveira, (in the outskirts of Lisbon), was founded by the great grandfather, José Faustino, later expanded by the grandfather Tomás Faustino and is now managed by the father, Mr. Victor Faustino and his son Paul. Manufacturing still in the traditional way, with the molds and vise (a work of art in itself) that passed through the hands of the grandfather Tomás, they are also innovating a little, modernizing equipment and adapting the models to modern needs.
Sympathy is great and good will abounds.
Tradition with a future.

Mestres Latoeiros há mais de cem anos, a família Faustino mantém a tradição da latoaria na família há quatro gerações. A oficina de Latoaria, situada na rua de Santa Filomena, na Malveira, foi fundada pelo bisavô, José Faustino, ampliada depois pelo avô Tomás Faustino e é hoje gerida pelo pai, o Sr. Vítor Faustino e pelo filho Paulo. Fabricam-se ainda os modelos tradicionais, com os moldes e o torno de bancada (uma obra de arte em si mesmo) que passaram pelas mãos do avô Tomás mas inova-se também um pouco, modernizando o equipamento e adaptando os modelos às necessidades modernas.
A simpatia é muita e a boa vontade abunda.
Uma tradição com futuro.
