sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin 8" Wilbur Tracy Navajo Sterling bangle bracelet
8" Wilbur Tracy Navajo Sterling bangle bracelet, weight and measurements in pics. Last quarter of the 20th century with no issues. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.

The bears are solid 14k gold, looks way better in person.Wichita jewelry designer Dina Huntinghorse incorporates a blend of traditional and contemporary jewelry techniques to create masterful works of wearable art. Although gold and silver work is rarely seen among the tribes of the Great Plains, Dina‘s life experiences introduced her to the craft, and inspired her to develop her own unique style.Raised in southwestern Oklahoma, Dina‘s first love was of horses, and she learned to reproduce their likeness in pencil sketches and paintings. She was later taught the traditional art of beadwork by an aunt, and became known for her beaded deerskin purses. In 1989, her interest in jewelry was piqued when her late husband, Navajo jeweler Herbert Taylor, taught her to cut beads and do inlay work. Dina began making jewelry on her own in 1996. Her work is featured in galleries throughout the southwest, and she is a regular participant at the Heard Museum Market and the Santa Fe Indian Market.Along with her respect for the horse, Dina is also known for her affection for the wolf. Through many of her designs, Dina honors her tribal teachings of the wolf‘s legendary hunting abilities and their human-like regard for the family (pack).

Diplomacy. Royal backstabbing. A Russian Empress who loved art and beauty.<br>All that went into the making of the world’s most expensive dinnerware, Flora<br>Danica by Royal Copenhagen.<br><br>Our story begins with Catherine the Great of Russia. In 1788, she was at the<br>height of her power and prestige, having come to power 26 years earlier by<br>deposing her husband in a coup. The formerly impoverished German princess was<br>now the absolute ruler of the largest empire in the world, and she followed up<br>one stunning achievement with another: Expanded Russia into the Black Sea and<br>Crimea. Made Russia a major European power. Annexed Alaska. Reformed the<br>government. Ushered in the Enlightenment. Check, check, check.<br><br>Catherine awed her contemporaries. Voltaire compared her to the Biblical Queen<br>Semiramis of Babylon. Madame Vigée Le Brun, former court painter to Queen Marie<br>Antoinette and no stranger to royalty, wrote that “…with her head held high, her<br>eagle-like stare and a countenance accustomed to command, all this gave her such<br>an air of majesty that to me she might have been Queen of the World…”<br><br>She was also the ideal Enlightenment ruler: Patron of the arts. Friend of the<br>leading philosophers and thinkers. Champion of knowledge and learning, for women<br>as well as men. The magnificent collections of St. Petersburg’s Hermitage<br>Museum, a must see on any tour of Russia, actually began as her personal art<br>collection.<br><br>In 1788, Catherine the Great was at war with the Ottoman Turks a second time.<br>Her cousin, King Gustav III of Sweden, decided to take advantage of the<br>situation and attack Russia in the back. To deter him, Russia had signed a<br>treaty with Denmark 15 years earlier. But when the war started, the Danes didn’t<br>move. They had problems of their own: their King Christian VII was insane, his<br>wife Queen Caroline Matilda had an affair, her lover Doctor Johann Friedrich<br>Streunsee fathered one of her children, the King’s mother ordered him executed<br>and the Queen banished, then had herself and the King’s elder son rule as<br>regent. But we digress.<br><br>The Russians demanded that the Danes honor their obligations. When the Danes<br>finally showed up, they came up with a smaller force than originally promised. A<br>few months later, when the war ended, the Danes felt mightily embarrassed. It<br>was also not a good idea to get Catherine the Great and Russia on your bad side.<br>But how do you make amends with the absolute ruler of the world’s greatest<br>empire?<br><br>They must’ve thought long and hard about this one and figured out three things:<br><br>First, Catherine was a well-known lover of the arts. She bought thousands of<br>paintings from all the major European artists of the day. She also commissioned<br>porcelain, metalwork, glasswork, and books, and she even wrote comedies,<br>fiction, and memoirs herself.<br><br>Second, she was also a known patron of the French Encyclopedists, a group of<br>philosophers including Voltaire, Diderot, and d’Alembert who set out to gather<br>all the world’s knowledge into one grand Encyclopedie so that it could be<br>available universally.<br><br>Finally, and this was key: They knew that the Russians had been after fine<br>porcelain for over 70 years. True hard paste porcelain was very precious in 18th<br>century Europe. Much whiter and stronger than stoneware, it was exclusively used<br>by the royalty and aristocracy, and all the major royal families of Europe had<br>set up their own porcelain factories in towns like Sevres, Limoges, and Meissen.<br>Catherine the Great loved porcelain so much, she turned the Russian porcelain<br>factory in St. Petersburg into the “Imperial Porcelain Manufactory” and placed<br>massive orders for her and her family’s private use.<br><br>And so the Danes came up with an idea: Let’s create the world’s finest<br>collection of porcelain which is also an encyclopedia of art. But it had to be<br>so amazing that Catherine the Great would (hopefully) forgive their failure to<br>help Russia during the war. They trusted the task to the Danish royal porcelain<br>factory, Royal Copenhagen, and its chief artist Johann Christoph Bayer:<br><br>They commissioned a dinnerware collection of 1,802 pieces. They used the finest<br>porcelain they could manufacture and then rimmed them in gold in a lace-like<br>detail — just to be sure it was nice enough. Other pieces featured delicate<br>flower buds that were carved out by hand:<br><br>Then, 3,000 flora and fauna from the Flora Danica botanical encyclopedia of 1761<br>would be individually hand-painted on the dinnerware pieces:<br><br><br>With this much decoration, the porcelain pieces are “overglazed,” which means<br>they are decorated after being glaze-fired in the brightening kiln to produce<br>the wide range of colors and the richness of detail. Then they are fired once<br>more at about 850°C or 1,562 °F after they are painted, to allow the paints to<br>melt and fuse with the fired glaze. Immediately after firing the gold<br>decorations look matte and dull. Their characteristic gold sheen appears only<br>after vigorous polishing with glass brushes or sand:<br><br>The result was something so magnificent, they could be used for state banquets<br>or just displayed as works of art in Catherine’s great palace in St. Petersburg:<br><br>This multi-year project was probably intended as a gift for the 40th anniversary<br>of Catherine the Great’s reign in 1802. But in 1796, Catherine suddenly died of<br>a stroke. Her death caused chaos in Europe. Her son and successor, Paul, hated<br>her and wanted to undo everything she started. He even dug up the remains of her<br>dead husband, Peter III, for an elaborate state funeral before burying him with<br>her — condemning her to spend eternity with the man she deposed and killed.<br><br>The Danes got the hint. They weren’t giving Paul the fine porcelain intended for<br>his mother — he might’ve just smashed it to spite her! But they must’ve been so<br>pleased with how this collection was coming along, their regent Prince Frederick<br>VI, ruling Denmark in his father’s name, continued its production and even<br>ordered some more, expanding it to 100 place settings.<br><br>In 1802, the production was finally finished. By now Paul was also gone: the<br>Russians finally decided he was too crazy and poisoned him, replacing him with<br>his 24-year-old son Alexander I (of War and Peace fame.) But the Danes weren’t<br>giving him their prized porcelain. The first Flora Danica dinnerware service was<br>delivered to the Danish Royal Palace, where Frederick VI used it to celebrate<br>the birthday of his father King Christian VII in 1803, probably at their<br>splendid Rococo-style Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen:<br><br>It must’ve been a very nice thing to do for his father, who suffered<br>schizophrenia, was forced by his mother to divorce his tragically adulterous<br>Queen, and had been sidelined for over 30 years already. And Flora Danica<br>continues to be used by the Danish Royal Family for special occasions to this<br>day.<br><br>Today, Flora Danica is regarded as one of the most original and inspired<br>examples of from the golden age of porcelain. It has also been collected by<br>today’s royalty: Oprah, Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, and various members of<br>the Kennedy family. Royal Copenhagen continues to make it by special order from<br>its factory in Denmark — the last porcelain dinnerware made in Denmark.<br>tw211

9.5" Michael Wainwright/Sandra Baccus Amalfi Salad plate set. Selling the exact 4 plates shown all with no wear or damage. I'm not totally sure if this is the Turquoise Amalfi or a different color designed exclusively for Sandra Baccus whom was a very important collector of African American art among many other things, she donated her multi-million dollar collection after her death in 2012.All Michael Wainwright pieces are finished with real 24K gold and real platinum. These plates are heavy and beautiful. They measure 12.5" in diameter. Many of Wainwrights designs evolved out of studies in Italy, his love of nature, his appreciation of fine art. Because he comes from the Studio ceramic art world, he creates wabi-sabi (the art of imperfection)handmade details in every piece. Inspirations of late, include the Japanese technique of Kintsugi, (Mezza Collection) and artists such as Gustav Klimt, (Vienna Collection) among others. Wainwright created his first collection of tableware in 1991, the same year he founded his company.

Aaron/Norbert Peshlakai (Navajo) Modernist silver Tufa Cast/stamped concho belt. Absolute masterpiece created my a modern day master and his son approximately 25 years ago. Belt is unworn with no holes, No idenifying marks that I could find, likely a custom piece made for a good customer/friend. I have had other Peshlakai pieces that were not signed that came from important collections and were of the same unimaginable quality that just can‘t be duplicated by anyone. I‘m 100% sure the note on the back of this buckle is a correct attribution of this item. Smaller sized belt with weight and measurements in pictures. The actual belt is 28" to the last silver bar with another 24" of leather beyond that. So it will fit up to a 48" waist or so with a little leather left at the end, or can be cut shorter of course. The way it is strung now it would fit about a 30" waist perfectly without moving any of the conchos. 1 Buckle, 9 Bars, 8 Conchos. Conchos are hand stamped, Buckle Tufa Cast. Norbert Peshlakai (Navajo), the first of ten children born to Ben and Lydia Peshlakai of Crystal, New Mexico, entered this world on May 6, 1953. In Lydia, a well known weaver in the Crystal style, and Ben, a miner, carpenter, and laborer, Norbert saw a strong work ethic, which guides him to this day. As a child he attended boarding schools in Crystal, and later Tohatchi, New Mexico. Weekend trips home were usually when he was able to visit family and practice his then-favorite medium, painting; one of his first paid jobs was to paint windows with a Christmas scene. He went on to attend Jefferson Junior High and Highland High School, both in Albuquerque. At that time Norbert knew he wanted to pursue his love of cross-country running, in which he excelled. Upon graduating in 1972, he decided to attend Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. At Haskell, Norbert ran cross-country until he was sidelined by a knee injury, which forced him to quit the team. He decided to take art classes to fulfill his credit requirements. After meeting with his advisor, he decided to turn to his love of painting, though he inadvertently ended up in a trade class on house painting! His advisor suggested he take a jewelry class. Uninterested in jewelry, Norbert nonetheless took her suggestion; this was his first attempt to try his hand at silversmithing. He did not initially enjoy the class, and when his teacher Clint Leon could see that Norbert was failing, he pulled him aside and gave him specific assignments to bring his grades up. He learned soldering, overlay, inlay, enameling, lost wax, and hammering. He came to enjoy the medium, and soon created pieces on the side to sell for extra money. He took four more jewelry classes, and during a summer at home, he and his brother taught themselves tufa casting. An arm injury in 1974 caused Norbert not to return to Haskell, but he dedicated himself to jewelry-making and began accumulating basic silversmithing tools. A relative, Billy Tsosie, taught him how to make his own stamps, and thus began Norberts obsession with intricate stamping and texturing. These highly refined skills epitomize his style: designs are carefully planned and laid out to within a fraction of a millimeter. Designs are rich in detail but restrained, and stamps are struck so that the depth of stamping is perfectly even. Now with more than 300 handmade stamps and dozens of hammers for texturing, Norbert creates imaginative and often humorous pieces with the confidence of a master. Norbert met his wife-to-be, Linda (née Mullahan), also from Crystal, and they started their own family: Natasha was born in 1981 and Aaron in 1983. Linda and both children picked up hammers, stamps, and silver early on and still create beauty today, all in their own respectable styles. Natasha married Ben Patrick Haley, who is from a family known for their handmade silver beads. Their son Luke, now 12, works with his mom, dad, and grandparents, sharing the family legacy of peshlakai, or beeshligaiiliterally “white metal. Ken Williams, Jr. Wheelwright Museum

sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin Adam Fortunate Eagle Bronze Sculpture "Prelude to the Trail of Tears"
"Prelude-Trail of Tears," signed in the cast Fortunate Eagle (Adam Fortunate Eagle, a/k/a Adam Nordwall, Red Lake Chippewa, Minnesota, b.1929), dated 1988, numbered 1/ 24, bronze only: approx 13.5"h, 14"w, 9.5"d, wood base: 1.75"h, 45lbs. Nice large well cast low production bronze by an extremely interesting and gifted artist. Please excuse the bad pictures as I took them at storage because as much as I love this, it's really big. Adam Fortunate Eagle L.H.D. (born Adam Nordwall), hereditary member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, is a Native American activist and was the principal organizer of the 1969–1971 Occupation of Alcatraz by "Indians of All Tribes". Early life Born in the missionary section of the Red Lake Indian Reservation in 1929, Nordwall was the son of a Swedish man and an Ojibwe woman. When he was five, his father died, leaving his mother no choice but to send him and four other children away to boarding school. He attended the Pipestone Indian School in Minnesota[1] and the Haskell Institute in Kansas, where he took advantage of the time to improve many skills that would help him later in life as well as escape the Great Depression, famine, and disease that was running rampant on reservations at the time. There he met his future wife, the Shoshone Indian Bobbie. California years After their marriage, the Nordwalls moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1951. Nordwall worked as a licensed termite inspector and by the late 1960s owned his own company in San Leandro, the First American Termite Company. Although living a comfortable life, Nordwall felt that he and his family needed to learn more about who they were as Native Americans. He became more involved in local Indian affairs and became chairman of the United Bay Area Council of American Indian Affairs. It was at this time that he proposed the takeover of Alcatraz. In 1968, at the Bay Area Italian-Americans' annual San Francisco reenactment of Columbus' landing in America, having successfully lobbied to have the Indians portrayed by genuine Indians rather than costumed Boy Scouts, Nordwall flicked the wig off Joe Cervetto, playing Columbus, with his ceremonial staff in a symbolic scalping. After he donated an 18-foot totem pole to the city of Livermore in 1969, the city shortened it before installing it in a park, and Nordwall placed a curse on their sewer system until they restored the cut off section. Nordwall began to seriously plan the takeover of Alcatraz, and he met with Richard Oakes, a local student activist, at a Halloween party at Tim Findley's house in 1969. He proposed the date of November 9 and Oakes agreed to get as many students as he could.[4] Nordwall took care of providing transportation to the island. However, on the date, none of the ships were there and the press were wary of the Indians all dressed up in their tribal wear. Nordwall found a captain who seemed interested in the events of the day and talked him into providing transportation. He agreed but said he would not dock on the island, to which Nordwall agreed.[5] Once near shore, Oakes seized the moment and jumped overboard, followed by a few of his fellow students. Nordwall stayed behind and watched as Oakes and his band struggled to reach the shore. The captain returned to shore a little while later.[6] Nordwall was not satisfied with just having been around the island and wanted to go back. Oakes and his fellow students were returned by the Coast Guard, and Nordwall asked if they wanted to try again that night. So once again Nordwall, Oakes and some two dozen other Indians set off for Alcatraz. As they approached, stormy weather and a watchdog caused the captain to become wary. Oakes and three women managed to get off, while Nordwall was left on the ship with the remaining Indians.[7] On the day of the actual takeover Nordwall was out of town, but on Thanksgiving he came riding across the bay standing on the prow of his ship exactly like George Washington.[8] Although he never lived on the island, Nordwall helped from the shores and was able to assist those on the island and keep the press reporting on the occupation while at the same time bringing to light the plight of the Native Americans. Nordwall was still active in Native American affairs after the Alcatraz occupation. He served mostly as a liaison between the Bay Area Council and the press. Nordwall later taught Native American studies at California State University, Hayward.[1] In September 1973, on his way to the International Conference of World Futures, he descended from the plane in Rome in full tribal regalia and claimed the country "by right of discovery" in the manner Columbus had claimed America. Invited for an audience with Pope Paul VI, instead of kissing the papal ring, he offered his own ringed hand in return; the Pope grinned and clasped his hand. Nordwall filed for bankruptcy and left the Bay Area in 1975 after his pest control business incurred fines for environmental code violations and underpayment of taxes. Writing and film He wrote "The Alcatraz Proclamation to the Great White Father and his People", which states that the goal of the occupiers was to create a center for Native American studies, an American Indian spiritual center, an Indian center of ecology, and a great Indian training school, none of which came to be on the island.[10] While the occupation of Alcatraz seemed a failure on the surface, the federal policy of termination of all tribes ended in 1971, and self-determination became the new policy. Many consider the Alcatraz occupation the beginning of the "Red Power" movement. His 2008 book Heart of the Rock is the story of that "invasion".[1] Fortunate Eagle performed the voice of Sitting Bull in the feature-length documentary Sitting Bull: A Stone in My Heart.[11] He is also the subject of a feature-length documentary called Contrary Warrior: The Life and Times of Adam Fortunate Eagle[11] and wrote a book on his experiences as an Indian boarding school titled Pipestone: My Life in An Indian Boarding School. His most recent work, Scalping Columbus, is a compilation of his own anecdotes. He is the father of poet nila northSun. Later life Nordwall received his Indian name Fortunate Eagle from a Crow Indian when he was 42.[1] He now lives on the Paiute-Shoshone Reservation, where his wife was born; he has built a roundhouse out of tires and other recycled materials.[1] In the 1980s he won awards for his sculpture; he also makes ceremonial pipes and headdresses, and in 1987 was jailed and tried for selling eagle feathers. His criminal trial ended in a hung jury but he was found guilty and fined in a civil trial. He is a ceremonial leader and leading statesman for his people and is heralded as one of the greatest Indians of his generation.

sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin Alabama "Feels So Right" Presentation Record framed Given to Tom Middleton
Alabama "Feels So Right" Presentation Record framed Given to Tom Middleton. I have not examined this outside of the frame but I acquired it from Tom Middleton's(1953-2020) estate personally along with about 400 pairs of cowboy boots and everything cowboy imaginable. Selling this, what I assume to be a record that was framed and given by Alabama for the work tom did for the album. 19.5" x 21.5" framed, 12" x 12" sight. 5.5" wide plaque. In 1973, Tom found a catalog of instruments from Warehouse Music Sales in Fort Worth that contained multiple dobros. He sold his two guitars and used the funds to buy his first dobro. After it arrived, his life was never quite the same. If you ever had the pleasure to hear him play, you saw Tom doing what he loved. Before making his way to Arizona to continue his education, Tom worked as a towboat deckhand for the United Maritime Union on the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny Rivers. Tom received a BS in English Literature from Northern Arizona University. During his time in Flagstaff, he was a member of the Mormon Lake Hotshots on the Coconino National Forest. Bill Mack's "All Night Open Road" show from WBAP in Dallas kept him company at the Mormon Lake Guard Station. He became lifelong friends with several of his fellow firefighters and kept in contact with them the rest of his life. But music kept calling, and Tom began working for R.Q. Jones Resophonic Guitar Company in Wanette, Oklahoma. Now he wasn't just playing dobros, he was making them. In fact, he made one for a young dobro player named Jerry Douglas who is now widely regarded as "the" dobro player of our time. The dobro in question now belongs to the Music Instrument Museum in Phoenix. Jerry and Tom became good friends and whenever Jerry toured through Austin in recent years, they would take in some live music together at Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon among other music venues. In 1978, Tom went to work for Peaches Records and Tapes in Oklahoma City, then The Handleman Company, and finally Pickwick Distribution Company in Dallas. These three jobs showed Tom the buying, selling, and distribution side of the music business. By 1985, Tom was working as a Print Production Manager at The Richards Group, an advertising agency in Dallas. He excelled at print production and would stay with it in Austin at both GSD&M and McGarrah Jessee from which he retired after 24 years shortly before his death. Tom's work in print production should not go unrecognized. There is no doubt that countless times you've seen ads, packaging, and products that he produced – you just didn't know it. He had a wealth of experience and knowledge and was always keen to share what he knew with young producers and creative types. When Tom retired, his coworkers, vendors, suppliers,

Alfred Joe Navajo Sterling silver lapis beaded necklace shadowbox/overlay design. Solid sterling silver tested and guaranteed with weight and measurements in the pictures. Circa last quarter of the 20th century. 16.5" long. Award-winning, Navajo jeweler Alfred Joe was born in Winslow, Arizona to Rose Ann and Robert Joe. Alfred learned silversmithing from his uncle Colbert Joe, at a young age. He also went on to attend college at Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff. In 1972, Alfred Joe was making some of the finest chip inlay jewelry available at the time. His uncle Colbert Joe encouraged him to pursue more traditional designs. During the 1970s, he worked in his family’s silver shop in Winslow, Arizona, called “Little Squash” (which is the family’s nickname for the oldest son). When silver prices skyrocketed, the shop had to close, and this allowed Alfred to concentrate more on his jewelry making. Alfred Joe is known for his graceful, traditional designs, with a contemporary edge. He uses shadowbox techniques as well as stamping and overlay. Gem grade turquoise stones from mines such as, Carico Lake, Lander, Bisbee, Morenci and more, are used in his pieces, in addition to Mediterranean red corral and Lapis. A technique used in creating his signature rug bracelets is a silver dust overlay process that provides a level of contrast and texture to the pieces. Working in both silver and gold, his two-sided pendants are highly prized for their magnificent, gem-quality stones and elegant craftsmanship. Since 1972, Alfred Joe has won every major award bestowed in his field. Some of these include: Best in Show, Eight Northern Indian Arts & Crafts Show Best in Show, Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial First place, Santa Fe Indian Market, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1995, 1996, 1997, 2000, and 2001.

He likes to incorporate humor into his work, as can be seen in his<br>wonderful lizard pins that are designed to perch on the wearer's shoulder, one<br>of his unique designs.<br><br>Growing up in Albuquerque, away from his father's Zuni Pueblo and his mother's<br>Jicarilla Apache Reservation, Allenroy was not always interested in his native<br>heritage, much less in making jewelry. In high school, he became interested in<br>fancy dancing, one of his favorite activities through today. At this same time,<br>his father took up jewelry making to support their family after being disabled<br>in an accident, but it still did not interest Allenroy. Instead, he earned a<br>degree in technical engineering. It was not until his father died several years<br>later, when his mother gave him his father's tools, that Allenroy realized this<br>was his inheritance and heritage. Today he considers his father to be his<br>strongest inspiration.<br><br>This feeling was reinforced one time when he was having a creative block. He<br>found a lizard in a shed he was cleaning, and was captivated by its colors and<br>shapes. "It was like someone told me, 'make inlay lizard jewelry.' I felt it was<br>my dad telling me to do that." It seemed logical after that to move on to<br>turtles and frogs.<br><br>Allenroy is interested in educating as well. His sons, Ignacio and Kyle, have<br>already started making jewelry, and have won awards for their work. Allenroy<br>also teaches school children about native heritage, trying to break down the<br>image of the "stereotypical Hollywood Indian." He performs a solo show that<br>incorporates storytelling, dancing and flute playing at schools. He would also<br>like to "be an inspiration to native urban Indians who have lost their<br>connection with their reservation or their native ties -- to help them find<br>there is something to connect them to that world."

Just a few miles west of Gallup, NM., nestled among the canyons & hills of the small town of Lupton, AZ., lies the quaint, cozy workshop of the young Navajo artist, Alvin Yellowhorse. Alvin learned the silversmithing trade at an early age from his father, Frank Yellowhorse, and later mastered the techniques of cutting the small turquoise & other colorful stones into precise little pieces in which he assembles into intricate designs inspired by his Anasazi ancestors. This technique is called “Channel Inlay. A style of inlay where all the stones are cut & assembled together first & then ground flush before being highly polished. Alvin is credited for originating another style of inlay called “Corn Row Wave Inlay in which the stones are individually cut & rounded over before setting them into a silver or gold bracelet, pendant, ring, or link bracelet. Corn Row Wave Inlay is much more time consuming as he has to completely finish each stone one at a time before placing them into the gold or silver setting. Alvin creates each piece one at a time . There are no mass production techniques or assembly lines. His designs, although very contemporary, are enriched by the Zuni, Hopi, & Anasazi influences along with his own Navajo heritage. Alvin also receives inspiration from the ancient petroglyphs found along the canyon walls near his workshop. Alvin is forever amazing the jewelry & art galleries with new designs & techniques. Aside from being featured in several high-end galleries, Alvin was recognized by the Smithsonian Magazine in their August 1999 issue, along with Art Book Arizona Magazine doing a profile on his life. Each year Alvin enters his jewelry into the Santa Fe Indian Market competition & has won several Blue Ribbons. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed,

sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin Amazing Napier Sterling Mid Century Modern period and style bracelet
Amazing Napier Sterling Mid Century Modern period and style bracelet. An amazing work of wearable art from the 40's or 50's. This piece rivals and of the high end silver from the period in both quality and design, the only difference is it's much rarer than say a Pineda, Spratling, or Jensen bracelet of the period as they were produced in larger quantities from my experience. This is entirely handmade, each piece is hand hammered on the sides, screams quality from every direction. 8" long x 1" wide x 59.3 grams, fully functional springed clasp, no damage or significant wear.The Napier Company got its start in North Attleboro, Massachusetts 1878, under the name of The E. A. Bliss Co., manufacturing gilt men's watch chains. In 1882, the company became incorporated as The E. A. Bliss Company with the word "The" as part of its legal name. The company relocated to Meriden, Connecticut in 1890, after the company sustained rapid growth in the previous decade. During World War I (and again in World War II), they ceased production of jewelry, and instead focused on producing war-related items, such as medallions and medals. James H. Napier became president of the company in 1920, and the company was renamed, The Napier-Bliss Co. In 1922, the company again changed its name to The Napier Co.Timeline The company was known for its ability to be on the forefront of fashion and design and had a history of sending its designers to Europe. In 1925, James Napier attended the World's Fair Exposition Internationale des Artes Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, and brought back with him business ideas, including designs influenced by Parisian and European fashion. Mr. Napier himself, did not design jewelry. James Napier work for the company from 1914 to his death in 1960. From 1920 to 1960 he served as president. In 1999, the company was bought by Victoria & Company. The plant in Meriden, Connecticut was closed by Victoria & Company on October 15, 1999. However, under the umbrella of Jones Apparel Group, Napier jewelry is still being manufactured and distributed.Jewelry designs In the 1920s and 1930s, Napier designed necklaces, bracelets and earrings in a range of styles including, designs featuring Egyptian motifs, such as cobras, Victorian Revival designs and Deco-style motifs. The company produced very little jewelry during the 1930s, focusing on its giftware lines. In the 1940s, most of the jewelry produced was sterling silver tailored pieces. In the 1950s, it produced jewelry in a wide range of styles. Napier jewelry is notable for its simple, modern, geometric and floral designs. However, the company also produce boutique and high-end jewelry. Some of the metalwork bears resemblance to Mexican and Scandinavian designs. The fan jewelry collection was introduced as a 10-year fundraising commitment in 1955. In the 1950s, the Napier Company presented First Lady Mamie Eisenhower with a bracelet bearing an elephant design, which was reputedly one of her favorite pieces of jewelry, and which she wore often, and the Napier Company gifted the contestants of the 1955 Miss America Pageant with fashion jewelry.Historical silver designs Napier silver designs from the first half of the 20th century are in museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum, Newark Museum and a substantial collection at the Dallas Museum of Art. Over the years, Napier silver has been featured in museum exhibitions, including Modernism in American Silver: 20th Century Design at the Smithsonian in Washington, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Wolfsonian in Miami Beach, the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, and the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, TN (2005–07). Napier designs have also been included in two shows at the Brooklyn Museum, entitled 19th century Modern (2011–12; 2013–15). In November 2016-November 2017, the iconic Napier penguin cocktail shaker is the lead design of a Dallas Museum of Art exhibition Shaken, stirred, styled: The art of the cocktail.

American Steuben MCM art glass Centerpiece. 10" wide x 4 5/8" wide with no<br>cracks, chips, or restorations. A few tiny non distractive scratches under close<br>examination and of course the expected shelf wear on base as this is an<br>old/heavy piece of glass.<br><br>Steuben Glass is an American art glass manufacturer, founded in the summer of<br>1903 by Frederick Carder and Thomas G. Hawkes in Corning, New York, which is<br>in Steuben County, from which the company name was derived. Hawkes was the owner<br>of the largest cut glass firm then operating in Corning. Carder was an<br>Englishman (born September 18, 1863) who had many years' experience designing<br>glass for Stevens & Williams in England. Hawkes purchased the glass blanks for<br>his cutting shop from many sources and eventually wanted to start a factory to<br>make the blanks himself. Hawkes convinced Carder to come to Corning and manage<br>such a factory. Carder, who had been passed over for promotion at Stevens and<br>Williams, consented to do so. In 1918, Steuben was acquired by Corning Glass<br>Works and became the Steuben Division. In July 2008, Steuben was sold by Corning<br>Incorporated for an undisclosed price to Schottenstein Stores,[2] which also<br>owns 51% of Retail Ventures, a holding company for DSW, Filene's Basement, and<br>formerly Value City Department Stores; Value City Furniture, which changed its<br>name to American Signature Furniture; 15% of American Eagle Outfitters, retail<br>liquidator SB Capital Group, some 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing<br>its shoes, furniture and crystal. On September 15, 2011, Schottenstein announced<br>it was shutting down Steuben's Corning factory and Manhattan store, ending the<br>company's 108-year history. Soon after, Corning Incorporated repurchased the<br>Steuben brand. In early 2014, The Corning Museum of Glass announced that it<br>would work with independent contractors to reproduce Steuben using a new,<br>lead-free formula and their classic leaded crystal. Carder period<br>(1903-1932)[edit] Steuben Glass Works started operation in October 1903. Carder<br>produced blanks for Hawkes and also began producing cut glass himself. Carder's<br>great love was colored glass and had been instrumental in the reintroduction of<br>colored glass while at Stevens and Williams. When Steuben's success at producing<br>blanks for Hawkes became assured, Carder began to experiment with colored glass<br>and continued experiments that were started in England. He soon perfected Gold<br>Aurene which was similar to iridescent art glass that was being produced<br>by Tiffany and others. Gold Aurene was followed by a wide range of colored art<br>glass that eventually was produced in more than 7,000 shapes and 140 colors.<br>These are a pair of handblown Steuben gold Aurene glass candlesticks designed by<br>Frederick Carder for the Steuben Glass Works, ca. 1913. (From a private<br>collection in Manhattan, New York.)Steuben Glass Works continued to produce<br>glass of all sorts until World War I. At that time war time restrictions made it<br>impossible for Steuben to acquire the materials needed to continue manufacture.<br>The company was subsequently sold to Corning Glass Works and became the Steuben<br>Division. Carder continued as Division manager without any real change in the<br>company's operation except that he now had reporting responsibilities to Corning<br>Glass Works' management. Corning's management tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to<br>limit the articles that Steuben made to only the most popular. Production<br>continued until about 1932. In 1932, there was a major change in Steuben<br>management. The nationwide depression had limited the sale of Steuben and there<br>was a lessening of public interest in colored glass. In February 1932, John<br>MacKay was appointed to Carder's position. Carder became Art Director for<br>Corning Glass Works. Steuben then produced primarily colorless art glass.<br>Steuben still produced colored art glass, but mostly to fill special orders. A<br>few new colors were added after Carder transitioned into his new role with<br>Corning Glass Works, but the last known sale for colored art glass by Steuben<br>was in 1943. Houghton period (1933–2012) An example of Steuben Glass design<br>during the Houghton era is the Balustrade Candlestick set, which mimics a<br>classical balustrade. Of special note is the hallmark of the perfectly formed<br>tear drop air bubble suspended in the design.Corning Glass Works<br>appointed Arthur A. Houghton Jr. as President in 1933, and under his leadership<br>Steuben changed artistic direction toward more modern forms. Using a newly<br>formulated clear glass developed by Corning (referred to as 10M) which had a<br>very high refraction index, Steuben designers developed beautiful, fluid<br>designs. Pieces such as Gazelle Bowl, designed by Sidney Waugh incorporated Art<br>Deco and modernist themes into glass. The themes during this period included<br>"balustrade" designs for water goblets and candlesticks, footed bowls and<br>serving pieces. Decorative forms included wildlife pieces representing owls,<br>penguins and other birds in smooth stylistic forms. Some pieces, such as the<br>Ram's Head Candy Dish, playfully included clean lines crowned by an ornate<br>design (a ram's head, complete with a ruff) on the lid as an homage to its<br>classic earlier pieces. The company also entered into the field of larger show<br>and presentation pieces celebrating various scenes (such as its cut-away design<br>featuring an Eskimo ice fisherman above the ice, and the fish below, or the<br>Cathedral Window design) and elements that incorporated etchings. In some cases<br>sterling silver or gold plating were used on metal finish elements such as the<br>golden "fly" atop the nose of a rainbow trout. Each piece is signed simply with<br>"Steuben" on the underside of the object. Toward the 1990s, the company also<br>began production of small objects—"hand coolers"—in various animal shapes. Items<br>from this period were also noted for their careful and elegant packaging. Before<br>boxing, each Steuben piece was placed in a silver-gray flannel bag (stitched<br>with the Steuben name), and then placed in a presentation box.<br><br>tw5

Ancient bronze bracelet. Very old bracelet with a very nice patina and nice hand<br>decorated design.

My lovely wife helped my clean my old photo room<br>and it got mixed in with tons of other jewelry. It is 15/16" wide with a .75"<br>gap and it isn't flexible, so it seems like it would have had to have been put<br>on a child. I know many cultures wore bronze jewelry, African and Viking of<br>course being the first to come to mind, I'm just not really sure. and I don't<br>know whether it's 250 years old or 2500 years old, but would bet it's in that<br>range.

sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin Ancient Eastern Ram figure with Provenance from the Estate Of Hugh McMath Univer
Ancient Egyptian/Chinese Sancai Ram figure with Provenance from the Estate Of Hugh McMath University of TX Dean of Architecture. Ok so I'm 100% sure it's ancient and belongs in a museum...just not sure where it's from. If I found it in a collection of Chinese items I'd be sure it was Tang Dynasty Chinese or around that time. Thing is this guy got around quite a bit in the early to mid 20th century with an interest in Archaeology/Architecture. It has a custom fitted wood base with the number 13 on the base and I'm sure there's a list somewhere that says where he found this. It has old restorations on one horn and in the back. Really it's a little difficult to tell what's restoration and what they may have been afraid to clean off upon excavation. I believe it was discovered, not sure when by Hugh McMath who played an important role at the University of TX for many years, there's much information about him in the UT library, below is a description of his papers. 4" long x 3" tall without stand that was obviously made circa mid 20th century to display it. Hugh L. McMath papers Location: Alexander Architectural Archives Subject Tags: Architecture Collection Type: Archive & Notable Collection The Hugh McMath papers include textual and photographic material primarily documenting his 44-year teaching career in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin. He held a deep interest in the art and architecture of Mexico and developed courses in pre-Hispanic and Colonial architecture of Mexico and published several monographs on the subject. Record types include photographs, correspondence, student work, writings, and faculty papers. I just bought this a few hours ago along with other items from the estate, right now I don't have time in my life to research anything for more than about 5 min or so and I'm always overwhelmed with stuff so I wanted to get it photographed and put in a safe place and hopefully have time to spend on it later or I'll take it with me next time I go to a better auction house. b63
