neutral  AllegroTrans: work done by craftesmen is not necessarily "folk style" - it can be formal and classic
3 hrs
  -> Hi Allegro! I chose "folk style" because it fits exactly the description - "maderas y forjados típicos de la zona". Enjoy your Sunday afternoon! :-) Deborah

agree  Rachel Fell: yes, the typical local bit is important in the meaning, and good/high standard of workmanship and characteristic nature are implied - handcrafted alone might sound a bit ambivalent in Eng., I think

  -> many thanks, Rachel! yes, I feel that artesanal implies a bit more than just handcrafted.

Explanation:
Artesenal implies earthy crunchy and close to the earth, if you get my drift... indigenous often works in this context
