Description
Antonio Pineda (1919-2009) Mid Century Modern sterling belt buckle 2.5" x 1 3/8", fits up to a 1 1/8" belt. 42.9 grams. <br><br>Pineda is one of two living members of the Taxco School and is recognized as a<br>world-class designer and a Mexican national treasure. <br> Pineda’s jewelry is especially known for its elegant acknowledgment of the<br>human form. It is often said that a Pineda fits the body perfectly, that it<br>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. Only the most talented of silversmiths could master.
