    1940's Hobe Sterling Modernist brooch with flowers 1 13/16" wide with no damage<br>13.9 grams.<br><br>Hobé Cie was founded in 1887 by goldsmith Jacques Hobé, but when costume-jewelry<br>collectors think of Hobé, they picture the tasselled and beaded necklaces made<br>by Jacques’ son, William, who established an American offshoot of the company in<br>1927. That put Hobé at the beginning of the American costume-jewelry boom<br>between the two world wars.<br><br>In fact, some scholars believe that Hobé actually had a hand in the phrase<br>“costume jewelry” itself. After the younger Hobé landed in New York, but before<br>he started his company, one of the his first assignments was to make costumes<br>and jewelry for the "Ziegfeld Follies." According to some historians, Florenz<br>Ziegfeld described the jewelry that accompanied Hobé’s costumes as costume<br>jewelry.<br><br>Hobé’s showbiz origins served the company well. By the 1940s and ’50s, Hollywood<br>stars such as Bette Davis and Ava Gardner were wearing Hobé. Especially prized<br>today are the floral pins of that era, which featured tight clusters of vermeil<br>petals. Earlier Hobé pieces that remain popular with collectors include<br>filigreed bracelets and pins, some of which featured Victorian-style portraits<br>or Japanese netsuke-like figures as focal points.

  • 1940's Margot de Taxco Los Castillo Sterling Aztec Eagle Warrior Fur clip - Estate Fresh Austin

    1940's Margot de Taxco Los Castillo Sterling Aztec Eagle Warrior Fur clip

    1 in stock

    Margot de Taxco Los Castillo Sterling Aztec Eagle Warrior Fur clip. I believe this is from the late 40's and was designed by Margot. It's an amazing piece 3" tall x 4" wide with articulated earrings that spin around when in motion, all three pieces moving on their own. It's 50 grams even, can easily be worn as a pendant/brooch, or even hung on the wall. Very substantial thick gauge sterling silver, a rare and important design. Margot Van Voorhies was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California. By the time she left her native country for good, she had survived the death of her father in 1903, the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the loss of her mother at the hands of a er in 1931 and the end of her first marriage in 1936. Fortunately, a Mexican vacation changed the life of Margot Van Voorhies in ways she could never have imagined. In 1937, forty-one-year-old divorcée Margot Van Voorhies left San Francisco on a trip to Mexico City. Fate threw her into the path of Don Antonio Castillo, who took her to Taxco, a Mexican hotbed for the design, crafting, and production of silver objects, in particular jewelry and housewares. Soon, Castillo would become Margot’s second husband. At the time, Castillo was working for William Spratling, a pioneer in Mexican silversmithing. He brought Margot into the business as a designer, helping her to transform her paper creations into three-dimensional forms in silver. In 1939, the pair, along with other members of Castillo’s family, opened shop as Los Castillo Taller [Taller is Spanish for “Workshop”], with Margot as the top designer. After ten years, the marriage between Castillo and Van Voorhies dissolved, as did their professional association. Margot went on to open her own shop in 1948, taking the name Margot de Taxco, by which she is best known today. Seven years later, enamel was added to many of her pieces, and this is where Margot found her legacy. At the peak of her career, Margot, who designed each piece herself, had two dozen silversmiths and a dozen enamellists in her employ to execute her vision. The men performed the duties as silversmiths; the women did the enamel work, using tiny brushes to bring the watercolor drawings to life. To ensure the accurate rendering of her jewelry designs, she compiled a book of instructions and drawings, detailing the construction and finishing of each. Margot attracted talented craftsmen who later went on to cement their own reputations, such as Sigi Pineda, Miguel Melendez, and Melecio Rodriguez. Many contemporary Hollywood celebrities were clients of Margot, including John Wayne and Lana Turner, who visited her shop every year. Tragedy struck in the form of a fire in 1960. Forced to move her studio, she never again regained her prior success, and the business folded in 1974. Margot granted several of the silversmiths in her employ permission to use her molds to create pieces on their own, in return for debt forgiveness. As a result, many of Margot’s pieces were re-created by silversmiths such as Jaimie Quiroz and Geronimo Fuentes, bearing their hallmark rather than hers. Margot passed away in 1985. But her talent as a designer and her influence as an artist have continued to gain recognition since the time of her death. Margot’s shop produced some repousse silver (a technique where a raised or relief design is hammered in from the reverse side of the piece). But she is best known for her champlevé enamel work. Champlevé is created by carving, etching, striking, or casting troughs or cells into the surface of a piece and filling it with vitreous enamel. In Margot’s jewelry, the designs were die-struck, a process that was detailed and critical to the final product. Margot produced many suites that included necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and earrings, as well as convertible jewelry. Margot de Taxco jewelry is recognized for its elegance, femininity, and variety. There were many areas of influence that can be found in Margot’s work. Her fish and wave motifs celebrated her love of Japanese art. The ornate swirls and floral motifs were reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Mischievous pre-Columbian figures were a recurring theme. Art Deco style ballerinas struck graceful poses. Margot was also taken with Egyptian motifs and Mexican crafts. Margot de Taxco pieces are distinguished by the stamp that includes her name, Eagle 16 (or Eagle 1, for her earlier works), along with a production number. Issued by the government, the eagle stamp was a way to identify th

Matilde Eugenia Poulat introduced MATL in 1934 and, since her death in 1960, her designs and techniques have been carried on by her nephew, Ricardo Salas. For sr. Salas, who can recite poetry in the language of the Aztecs, the mark matl, has greater meaning in its reference to the Nahuatl or Aztec word for water, atl.As a young woman, Matilde Poulat studied painting at the prestigious San Carlos academy of fine arts in Mexico city, she went on to teach painting classes at an art school until her interest turned exclusively to silver. Matilde Poulat´s designs for jewelry and figures were part of the new cultural vision among Mexico’s intellectuals after the revolution in 1920s, artists were searching for Mexican aesthetic, rejection European subjects in favor of the art of the pre-conquest Indians and of the Mexican pueblos. Sra. Poulat found inspiration in the mextec gold jewelry discovered in 1932 at Monte Alban. Her choice of motifs the dove, flowers, and tiny bells are reminiscent of the whimsical subjects of contemporary Mexican folk art.Matilde Poulat received international recognition for her jewelry when she was asked in 1941 to participate in an exhibit of Latin American silver at the pan American union in Washington, D.C. as a result of increasing demand for matl silver during world war ii , the number of silversmiths in the taller increased to thirty-three. In 1950, Srta. Poulat and her nephew opened a showroom on the first floor of her home, where she also had the workshop. Ricardo Salas recalls that they made three thousand types of silver jewelry and one hundred different pieces.Ricardo Salas worked closely with his aunt from the time he was eleven years of age. He says she recognized his artistic talent when she saw him do a play with puppets he had made himself. Sr. Salas was sent to the San Carlos academy, where he received the premio Diego Rivera. As a youth, he learned the techniques of the silversmith and perfected the carving of "Off White", coral, turquoise, and other stones used in the jewelry and figurines. From sr. Salas perspective, he and his aunt collaborated so closely as designers, that there really cannot be a comparison of their work.In 1955, William Spratling wrote of Matilde Poulat: “she has continued to produce some of the most charming native jewelry in Mexico, intensely her own. Her jewelry has the same charm and delightful surface and colorful quality of the old lacquer work of Uruapan. Spratling`s admiration for matl silver reflects his recognition of their shared appreciation for Mexican native art. This mutual inspiration led each of the two artists in different directions within the same medium. The exuberance of matl silver resembles the interiors of the churches in Puebla, like the chapel of Santa Maria Tonantzintla, where Indians covered the interior of the dome with polychromed and gilded angels. In matl silver, the introduction of color is accomplished with bits of coral, turquoise, and amethyst quartz. The surfaces are decorated with applied wire and elaborated with embossing and repousse of astounding complexity (pl.XXIII-1, XXIII-10). Matilde Poulat and Ricardo Salas have been successful in incorporating the artistic language of the Mixtecs into jewelry and silver figures with imagination, drama, and with a style that is completely personal.

Hughes, zealous booster of<br>state enterprise.  Together they founded the Wahpeton Pottery Company in January<br>1940 and married three years later.<br>Many of Laura Taylor's naturalistic designs reflected the native flora and fauna<br>of her North Dakota farm childhood.  A wide range of other products included<br>place souvenirs, human forms, functional items and advertising pieces. <br>Observing trends, Taylor met the needs and wishes of the public.  The company<br>name was changed to Rosemeade Potteries in 1953 for better name recognition and<br>remained successful while many other companies of that era did not survive.<br>Distinctive lustrous glazes created by Howard Lewis, production manager, set<br>Rosemeade apart, making it easily recognizable.  Metal oxides painted under the<br>glazes fired into colorful hues.  Lewis also threw swirl pottery vases and<br>pitchers.  He learned the swirl process while working at Niloak Pottery and<br>previously produced "Dickota Badlands" swirl pottery for the Dickinson Clay<br>Products Company.<br>Joe McLaughlin succeeded Lewis as production manager.  McLaughlin introduced<br>decorative decals, including those of wildlife artist Les Kouba, and accelerated<br>advertising specialties sales.  Rosemeade Potteries closed in 1961.<br>Although some early pottery and the swirl ware were thrown on the potter's<br>wheel, the majority of Rosemeade was cast in molds.  Most Rosemeade pottery is<br>identified with an impressed mark or an ink stamp of the company name in black<br>or blue lettering on the bottom.<br>tw254

I didn't find any identifying features, but I'm not familiar with Texas<br>folk artists as I spent most of my career on the east coast.<br><br>Black cowboys in the American West accounted for up to 25 percent of workers in<br>the range-cattle industry from the 1860s to 1880s, estimated to be at least 5000<br>workers according the latest research.[1] Typically former slaves or born into<br>the families of former slaves, many black men had skills in cattle handling and<br>headed West at the end of the Civil War.[2] Though the industry generally<br>treated black men equally to white men in terms of pay and responsibilities,<br>discrimination persisted, though to a lesser extent than in other industries of<br>the time.<br><br>Background<br>Nat Love<br>Nat Love (1854 – 1921), an African-American cowboy and former slave.<br>After the Reconstruction of the South after the American Civil War, freed slaves<br>were still denied land ownership and other rights in many states, and about<br>20,000 Exodusters headed west to Kansas between 1879 and 1884, with smaller<br>migrations to other Western states. Many trained under Mexican vaqueros,<br>cattle-raising Native Americans, or their former masters; they then worked as<br>ranch hands for wages equal to their white counterparts and offering more<br>opportunities than existed for freemen in the South.[2]<br><br>Black men, typically former slaves, children of slaves, or working in<br>plantations, and farms would have been exposed to kitchen work and stables as<br>well. As early as 1770, regulations in Louisiana required two slaves to manage<br>100 head of cattle.[1] White ranchers could even win competitions based on the<br>cow-handling skills of the Black slaves in their possession.[3] Initially, white<br>ranchers referred to white workers as "cow hands," with Black people in the same<br>position referred to with the pejorative "cow boy." Over time the term cowboy<br>came to apply to anyone in the industry of herding cattle.[3][4] Prior to the<br>abolition of slavery, the cattle trade was considered to offer a high degree of<br>relative freedom to slaves, who would be issued s, often left unaccompanied on<br>horseback for long stretches, and trusted to return.[4]<br><br>Free Black cattle drivers drove cattle from Kansas to areas including Atlanta,<br>the Dakotas, and Canada, as well as New Mexico, Arizona, California and<br>Oregon.[5]Porter, Kenneth Wiggins (1969). "Negro Labor in the Western Cattle<br>Industry, 1866-1900". Labor History. 10 (Summer): 346–74.<br>doi:10.1080/00236566908584084. Some freed slaves remained with their former<br>masters as employees.[4] As these areas became more settled and established more<br>practical transportation networks, the era of migrant cattle ranching came to an<br>end.[6]<br><br>Work<br>Black cowhands were typically assigned to handle horses with poor temperaments<br>and wild behaviors, a career known as horsebreaking.[5] Other people in the<br>cattle trade were trail cooks, which could earn extra money over other cowhands,<br>regardless of race.[5] Trail menus from black chefs included biscuits, sowbelly,<br>beef, molasses, and coffee. Black chefs would also hunt deer and wild turkey<br>between washing and kitchen cleaning duties.[5] Black cowhands were also<br>expected to perform on the trail, and expected to sing or to pack a musical<br>instrument.[5] Others would often serve as bodyguards or money transporters,<br>which has been attributed to the unlikelihood of thieves searching a black man<br>for large sums of money.[5]<br><br>Bose Ikard served as Charles Goodnight's banker for many years. Bill Pickett was<br>credited with inventing bulldogging.<br><br>There were also black women cowboys, though their numbers are unknown, as income<br>was provided to a common household rather than to individual women. Women were<br>unlikely to inherit a homestead or continue to work in ranching, as freemen and<br>white ranchers were unlikely to work for a black woman.[7]<br><br>Rodeos<br>Popularized across the United States in 1873 by Buffalo Bill Cody, Wild West<br>shows showcased skills and characters of the Western United States in the form<br>of a traveling performance including rodeo roping, Native American dances, and<br>other acts.[3] Among these traveling shows, African-American cowboy Jesse Stahl<br>was famous for his saddle riding, a defining aspect of rodeos.[3] Racism was<br>common in rodeo competitions, and terms such as "harder to cover" could be used<br>to mask racism in rodeo competitions under the guise that white riders had more<br>difficult horses.[3] Black rodeo riders would be compared to animals, given<br>nicknames reflecting African animals and using animal metaphors not found in<br>descriptions of white rodeo performers.[3] In response to their treatment and<br>Jim Crow laws, Black cowboys formed "soul circuits," later organized as the<br>Southwestern Colored Cowboys' Association, with the largest number of<br>African-American cowboys participated in rural communities along the coast of<br>Texas up to the 1940s.<br>TW158
