Set Decorators
Pro set decorators bringing Peruvian interiors to life—from Incan stone grandeur to colonial Lima elegance.
A set decorator picks and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and detail that bring a production designer's vision to the screen. In Peru, that means drawing on one of the Americas' deepest design heritages. The roots run from the precise stonework of Incan building and the gilded Baroque churches of Cusco to the colonial balconied mansions of Lima's historic center and the white-sillar stone buildings of Arequipa.
We connect you with Peruvian set decorators who know where to source nearby. Their reach runs from Lima's Barranco antique district and San Isidro design showrooms to Cusco's artisan markets and the textile workshops of the Sacred Valley. Our network spans every major production region, with pros skilled at dressing everything from pre-Columbian temple interiors to modern Miraflores apartments.

Why Us
Why Choose Our Set Decorators
01.
Peruvian Antique & Artisan Access
We hold close ties with Lima's Barranco antique dealers, Cusco's artisan markets, and Sacred Valley textile workshops. Those ties open access to genuine colonial Baroque furnishings, Andean textiles, and pre-Columbian replica pieces.
02.
Peruvian Design Traditions
Our set decorators are versed in Incan, colonial Baroque, republican, and modern Peruvian styles. They know the distinct character of Peruvian interiors, from Cusco's mestizo Baroque churches to Lima's Art Nouveau Barranco mansions.
03.
Regional Textile & Craft Resources
We work directly with Andean weavers, Cusco silverwork artisans, and skilled woodcarvers. Through them we source genuine materials such as alpaca textiles, colonial silver, hand-painted Arequipa pottery, and locally made furnishings.
04.
Pre-Columbian Through Modern Period Expertise
Our team has dressed sets spanning Peru's Incan empire, the colonial viceroyalty, independence, and modern design. We deliver accurate period decoration for shoots set in any era of Peruvian history.

Set decoration from Andean weavers and Lima's antiquarian network
Set decoration in Peru draws on one of the Americas' most layered material traditions. It spans pre-Columbian Inca and Nazca textile patterns, the gilded mestizo Baroque of the Cusqueño School, and the colonial-era church interiors of Cusco and Lima. The line runs on through the Republican-era balconied mansions of the Centro Histórico, the white-sillar build style of Arequipa, and the Art Nouveau and Indigenista interiors of Barranco.
Our network reaches into Lima's antiques routes through the Centro Histórico, San Isidro, and Barranco dealers. It also taps Mercado Indio Lima for broad Andean craft and the Cusco antiques quarter around San Blas for colonial church relics and period furniture. We match set decorators against verified Premios Luces, Festival de Lima at PUCP, or global co-production credits, and against the period and tone of the shoot. That might be an Inca-era ceremonial interior, a colonial-Baroque convent, a Republican-era Limeñan parlour, a mid-twentieth-century coastal hacienda, or the present-day Miraflores and Barranco look that Tondero comedies and Cinesphere drama demand.
The regional supply chain is the network's defining strength. Decorators source handwoven alpaca textiles from Chinchero weaver cooperatives and Pisac market vendors, the same supply chains that dressed Llosa's Madeinusa and The Milk of Sorrow. They also bring in colonial silver and church relics through the Cusco antiques circuit, hand-painted Arequipa pottery, and Capodimonte-style ceramics from Lima pros. Woodwork comes from the city's mestizo-Baroque carvers, and Republican-era furnishings from Centro Histórico Lima dealers, including Casa Tradicional Limeña suppliers. Today's briefs route through the capital's San Isidro design showrooms and Barranco styling agencies.
Productions filming across Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Arequipa, Iquitos, and Madre de Dios rely on our decorators. They manage cross-region transport, altitude-ready prep, and scene matching between coast, Sierra, and Selva sets. DAFO and Ministerio de Cultura shoots get bilingual department heads and Ley 26370 framework support. They also get Ibermedia and bilateral co-production forms and full crew scaling, from a single decorator through leadman, buyers, dressers, and swing gang teams. Billing follows the 18% IGV standard.

FAQ
Set Decoration Expertise
Where do you source furnishings in Peru?
Our set decorators work with prop resources in Lima, plus antique dealers in Barranco, Cusco's artisan markets, and regional textile cooperatives. We also source from skilled colonial furniture dealers and indigenous craft networks in the highlands.
Can you dress sets for Peruvian period productions?
Yes. Our decorators have worked on Incan, colonial viceroyalty, republican, and mid-century Peruvian settings. We source genuine period items through trusted dealers, estate collections, and traditional artisan workshops.
How do you handle productions filming across Peru's diverse geography?
We set up set-decorating logistics across Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, the Sacred Valley, and remote locations. Our teams handle transport between coast, highland, and jungle regions and keep scene matching tight across every set.
What about custom fabrication?
We work with skilled craftspeople on custom pieces when rentals don't meet your needs. This covers furniture building, upholstery, scenic painting, and specialty fabrication.
Can you create authentic Andean or rural Peruvian interiors?
Absolutely. Our decorators source from highland artisans, village markets, and traditional workshops to build convincing rural settings—from Andean adobe homes to Amazon lodge interiors and coastal fishing villages.
