These talented<br>silversmiths have been creating traditional Navajo jewelry since 1969. They came<br>from families well known for their jewelry making. Wilson’s father, Luke, taught<br>John Adair, author of “Navajo and Pueblo Silversmiths” how to make sand cast<br>jewelry. He worked for many years with Mike and Dean Kirk, at the famous Kirk<br>Brothers Trading Company in Gallup, New Mexico.<br><br>Carol’s parents, Angela and Allen Chee were both silversmiths who worked by C.G.<br>Wallace, the famous jewelry trader from Zuni, New Mexico.<br><br>The Begays began their career making sandcast jewelry, a traditional type of<br>Navajo jewelry that requires the artist to make carvings in Tufa stone to make<br>forms to shape molten silver. They first worked for Tobe Tupen, a well known<br>trader in Gallup. Carol remembers that silver was only $1.25 an ounce when they<br>started.<br><br>Today they are independent artists whose work is widely sought after and<br>admired. Wilson concentrates on the casting and building the foundations of the<br>jewelry and Carol sets the stones and does the finishing work. They work<br>together to design their jewelry.<br><br>Traditional sandcast silver jewelry is a unique Navajo art form. The process,<br>although it sounds simple, requires careful discipline and years of practice to<br>obtain quality results.<br><br>The artist takes two pieces of pumice stone and grinds them together to create<br>two flat surfaces. Then the design is carved into one of the two pumice stones.<br>An opening is carved from the design to the top and bottom of the stone. The two<br>pieces of stone are then tied together so that the carved design is between the<br>two flat areas. Silver is then melted in a crucible, and when it reaches the<br>proper molten form, it is poured into the opening on the top of the design. If<br>it is the proper temperature, it flows through to the bottom where it cools and<br>hardens, filling the design space. After cooling, the stones are separated, the<br>casting removed and the protrusions on the top and bottom are cut off. The<br>silver is then filed smooth and shaped.<br><br>If stones are to be set on the piece, the artist builds a silver bezel to hold<br>the stone and then solders it to the piece of jewelry. Sawdust is put in the<br>bottom of the bezel to cushion the stone and the bezel is tightened. The piece<br>is then polished to the shine the artist likes.<br><br>Wilson Begay of Gallup is the acknowledged master of the art of sandcast<br>jewelry. Luke Begay, Wilson's grandfather, demonstrated this skill to John Adair<br>in the early 1930's when Adair was conducting a survey of native silversmiths of<br>the Smithsonian. Luke taught the skill to Wilson as a young man. Today, in his<br>60's, Wilson continues to make sandcast jewelry in his Gallup home. His wife,<br>Carol, chooses the stones to be used and sets them in bezels. The Begays have<br>three daughters, Nichole, Yvonne and Bonnie, are continuing the family<br>tradition.<br><br>Wilson's stamped signature is a flat brimmed Navajo hat with his initials under<br>it. His signature is one of the most recognized in Indian jewelry. His work has<br>won top awards at the Gallup Inter-tribal Ceremonial and is a "must have" for<br>serious collectors of contemporary Indian jewelry.<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry<br>referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)<br>silver and possibly higher content.

c1850 Texian Campaigne Historical Staffordshire brown 9.5" Soup bowl James<br>Beech, General Zachary Taylor at the Battle of Chapultepec. in near mint<br>condition with no chips or stains. Fine overall crazing and a very tight less<br>than 1" hairline on the reverse side that doesn't go through to the front. It is<br>shown on the left center of the fifth picture. This is an extremely rare piece<br>of an already rare and desirable pattern. 9.5" wide x 1.5" deep.<br><br>The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although<br>made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was<br>designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans<br>for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.)<br><br>The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of<br>colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up<br>armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was<br>part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces<br>opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican<br>government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with<br>the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring<br>that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt<br>with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and<br>under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with<br>Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the<br>United States.<br><br>The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural<br>clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of<br>American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly<br>centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed,<br>particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos<br>disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the<br>Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional<br>government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from<br>the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by<br>mid-December 1835. The Consultation declined to declare independence and<br>installed an interim government, whose in led to political paralysis and a<br>dearth of effective governance in Texas. An ill-conceived proposal to invade<br>Matamoros siphoned much-needed volunteers and provisions from the fledgling<br>Texian Army. In March 1836, a second political convention declared independence<br>and appointed leadership for the new Republic of Texas.<br><br>Determined to avenge Mexico's honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally retake<br>Texas. His Army of Operations entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and found the<br>Texians completely unprepared. Mexican General José de Urrea led a contingent of<br>troops on the Goliad Campaign up the Texas coast, defeating all Texian troops in<br>his path and executing most of those who surrendered. Santa Anna led a larger<br>force to San Antonio de Béxar (or Béxar), where his troops defeated the Texian<br>garrison in the Battle of the Alamo, killing almost all of the defenders.<br><br>A newly created Texian army under the command of Sam Houston was constantly on<br>the move, while terrified civilians fled with the army, in a melee known as the<br>Runaway Scrape. On March 31, Houston paused his men at Groce's Landing on the<br>Brazos River, and for the next two weeks, the Texians received rigorous military<br>training. Becoming complacent and underestimating the strength of his foes,<br>Santa Anna further subdivided his troops. On April 21, Houston's army staged a<br>surprise assault on Santa Anna and his vanguard force at the Battle of San<br>Jacinto. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed<br>many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in exchange for his<br>life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio Grande. Mexico<br>refused to recognize the Republic of Texas, and intermittent conflicts between<br>the two countries continued into the 1840s. The annexation of Texas as the 28th<br>state of the United States, in 1845, led directly to the Mexican–American War.<br><br>tw178

It is often said that a Pineda fits the body perfectly, that<br>it feels right when it is worn. So, for example, a thick geometric necklace that<br>might at first glance seem too weighty or rigid to wear comfortably is, in fact,<br>faceted, hinged, or hollowed in such a way that it gracefully encircles the neck<br>or drapes down the décolletage.  In addition, no other taxqueño jeweler used as<br>many costly semiprecious stones or set them with as much ingenuity, skill, and<br>variety as did Pineda.

Antonio Pineda (1919-2009) Taxco Modernist Sterling Onyx cufflinks, No issues<br>whatsoever, fully functional. 20mm square, 21.2 gramsAntonio Pineda<br>(1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero,<br>large-scale mining can be dated to thesixteenth century, and silver is a way of<br>life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20), jewelry and other<br>silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach,<br>informedby modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Today,<br>at the age of 89, AntonioPineda is one of two living members of the Taxco School<br>and is recognized as a world-class designerand a Mexican national treasure.<br>Nearly two hundred examples of Pineda’s acclaimed silver work willbe displayed<br>in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda, a<br>travelingexhibition debuting at the Fowler Museum Aug. 24, 2008.Significantly,<br>given Pineda’s many accomplishments and international renown, he identifies<br>himselfprimarily as a taxqueño, or Taxco, silversmith. From its inception, the<br>Taxco movement broke newground in technical achievement and design. While<br>American-born, Taxco-based designer WilliamSpratling has been credited with<br>spearheading the contemporary Taxco silver movement, it was agroup of talented<br>Mexican designers who went on to establish independent workshops and develop<br>thedistinctive “Taxco School.” These designers incorporated numerous aesthetic<br>orientations—Pre-Columbian art; silverwork, images, and other artwork from the<br>Mexican Colonial period; andlocal popular arts—merging them within the broad<br>spectrum of modernism.Pineda himself is lauded for his bold designs and<br>ingenious use of gemstones. Silver Seduction tracesthe evolution of his work<br>from the 1930s–70s, and includes more than fifty each of necklaces andbracelets,<br>as well as numerous beautiful rings, earrings and diverse examples of his<br>hollowware andtableware. All of the works feature Pineda’s hard-to-achieve<br>combination of highly refined and hand-wrought appeal.Pineda’s jewelry is<br>especially known for its elegant acknowledgment of the human form. It is<br>oftensaid that a Pineda fits the body perfectly, that it feels right when it is<br>worn.

Fred Davis (1880-1961) Taxco Modernist sterling cufflinks 30mm x 11mm x 20.9<br>grams.Frederick W. Davis is known among collectors for his work as a jewelry<br>designer and silversmith based in Mexico City, Mexico. He began designing and<br>crafting jewelry and decorative objects in the 1920s. The wares he produced<br>often reflected his affinity for pre-Columbian artifacts. He occasionally<br>collaborated with Valentín Vidaurreta, another respected Mexican silver<br>craftsman with roots in Mexico City. Davis is credited as an avid promoter of<br>other silver artists, including William Spratling, who worked in Mexico from the<br>1920s through the 1950s. Frederick Davis Jewelry - HistoryDavis moved from the<br>United States to Mexico in 1910. Working as an assistant manager for the Sonora<br>News Company, he toured the country on buying trips to stock railway station<br>shops with native folk art for his employer. He established relationships with<br>many artisans during his travels, and his knowledge of Mexican crafts grew<br>extensively. His ardent work resulted in a promotion to manager of Sonora’s arts<br>and crafts showroom in Mexico City. René d’Harnoncourt, who later served as the<br>director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, was employed by Davis in 1927<br>as an assistant. Their work together led to the company’s distribution and<br>exhibition of works by Mexican painters who are now well known, such as Diego<br>Rivera, among many others. During this era, Davis and d’Harnoncourt left an<br>indelible footprint on the trade of Mexican handcrafts, including silver<br>jewelry, from that point on. Davis took a position managing antiques and fine<br>crafts for Sanborn’s department store in 1933 after d’Harnoncourt moved to the<br>United States. He remained with the store for 20 years, where he continued to<br>promote Mexican art and artisans while designing and producing silver wares.<br>Davis died in 1961.
