Arno Malinowski (1899-1976) Georg Jensen 纯银项链。 15 英寸长 1 1/8 英寸或 28 毫米宽 93.6 克。没有凹痕、弯曲或其他问题。出售 Arno Malinowski 在 1960 年代为 Georg Jensen 设计的一模一样的项链。于 1960 年代中期手工制作和设计,是真正的中世纪现代作品,在设计和执行方面均具有最高品质。 银匠。阿尔诺·马林诺夫斯基 (Arno Malinowski) 于 1922 年至 1935 年间在哥本哈根丹麦皇家美术学院接受培训,并于 1921 年至 1935 年间为丹麦皇家瓷器制造厂设计了一系列描绘神话人物的小雕像。 1936 年至 1944 年,他为 Georg Jensen 工作,1949 年至 1965 年再次为珠宝和空心器皿进行设计。他 1937 年设计的珠宝作品包括跪着的鹿、灯芯草中的海豚和花朵上的蝴蝶,这些设计一直持续生产多年。 1940年,他设计了“Kingmark”来纪念克里斯蒂安国王七十岁生日。它被大量生产并被丹麦人佩戴,以表达他们对丹麦的忠诚和对德国占领的抵抗。马林诺夫斯基还研究了日本的剑卫风格的铁镶金或银技术。在战争年代,白银供应有限,这使他能够用铁而不是银设计珠宝。还担任雕塑家、陶艺家、雕刻师和奖牌获得者。 乔治·詹森(Georg Jensen,1866 年 8 月 31 日出生于丹麦拉德瓦德 — 1935 年 10 月 2 日卒于哥本哈根),丹麦银匠和设计师,因其现代金属设计的商业应用而享誉国际。他的作品简洁优雅,注重精湛的工艺,这是 Jensen 产品的标志,受到世界各地的认可。詹森 (Jensen) 14 岁时向一位金匠当学徒。他的艺术才华曾短暂集中在雕塑上,但后来他又回到了金属制品领域,主要是珠宝和银器,这些作品是在他于 1904 年在哥本哈根开设的工作室中生产的。詹森 (Jensen) 在几个主要的国外展览中展出了他的作品。展览(在 1910 年布鲁塞尔博览会上获得金奖),并迅速建立了作为杰出和高度原创银匠的声誉。 1912 年,他搬到了一个更大的车间,并于 1919 年购买了他的第一座厂房。 詹森的银器立即受到欢迎并获得商业上的成功。事实上,他是第一个从现代白银制造中获利的白银制造商。在詹森时代之前,几乎所有成功的银器生产商都依赖于流行传统设计的标准库。然而,詹森发现他的时尚简约作品的市场比任何人预期的都要大。他的公司发展迅速,业务遍及整个欧洲,并在伦敦和纽约开设了分支机构。 Jensen 的作品在两大洲引领了当代餐具的潮流。他是最早将钢材——以前被认为只适合制作低质、廉价的餐具——转变为美观、耐用的餐具的设计师之一。

Johan Rohde for Georg Jensen Acorn sterling salt cellars 62 w/ 110 spoons. Selling the 8 pieces shown with minor tarnish, two have slight wear to enamel on top rim upon close inspection, the one turned up in the last pic has a spot of enamel as wide as the handle just inside the handle, it was difficult to show in the pics and doesn‘t stand out in person. Spoons 2.2" long, salts 2 3/8" wide with handles. The spoons are Jensen also but a different pattern. I could probably sell either the salts or spoons separately for a reasonable offer. silverdrawer

Margot de Taxco Los Castillo 纯银阿兹特克鹰战士毛皮夹。我相信这是 40 年代末的作品,由 Margot 设计。这是一件令人惊叹的作品,高 3 英寸 x 宽 4 英寸,带有铰接式耳环,在运动时会旋转,所有三件作品都会自行移动。它重 50 克,可轻松作为吊坠/胸针佩戴,甚至挂在墙上。非常坚固的厚规格纯银,是一种罕见且重要的设计。玛格特·范·沃里斯 (Margot Van Voorhies) 1896 年出生于加利福尼亚州旧金山。当她永远离开祖国时,她已经经历了 1903 年父亲的去世、1906 年旧金山地震、1931 年母亲死于残忍的凶手之手以及她第一次婚姻的结束。 1936年。 幸运的是,一次墨西哥假期以她从未想象过的方式改变了玛格特·范沃里斯的生活。 1937 年,41 岁的离婚者玛格特·范·沃里斯 (Margot Van Voorhies) 离开旧金山前往墨西哥城。命运将她推向了唐·安东尼奥·卡斯蒂略 (Don Antonio Castillo) 的道路,后者将她带到了塔斯科 (Taxco),这里是墨西哥设计、制作和生产银制品(尤其是珠宝和家居用品)的温床。很快,卡斯蒂略将成为玛戈特的第二任丈夫。当时,卡斯蒂略正在为墨西哥银匠先驱威廉·斯普拉特林工作。他让玛戈特以设计师的身份进入这个行业,帮助她将纸质作品转变成银色的三维形式。 1939 年,两人与 Castillo 家族的其他成员一起开了一家名为 Los Castillo Taller 的商店(Taller 在西班牙语中是“工作室”的意思),由 Margot 担任首席设计师。 十年后,卡斯蒂略和范沃里斯之间的婚姻解散了,他们的职业协会也解散了。 Margot 于 1948 年开设了自己的商店,并取名为 Margot de Taxco,至今她最为人所知。七年后,她的许多作品中都添加了珐琅,这就是玛戈特找到她遗产的地方。在她职业生涯的巅峰时期,玛戈特亲自设计了每件作品,并雇佣了两打银匠和十几名珐琅师来实现她的愿景。这些人履行银匠的职责。女人们负责珐琅工作,用小刷子让水彩画栩栩如生。为了确保准确呈现她的珠宝设计,她编写了一本说明书和图纸书,详细介绍了每件作品的构造和精加工。玛戈特吸引了后来巩固自己声誉的才华横溢的工匠,如西吉·皮内达 (Sigi Pineda)、米格尔·梅伦德斯 (Miguel Melendez) 和梅莱西奥·罗德里格斯 (Melecio Rodriguez)。 许多当代好莱坞名人都是玛戈特的顾客,包括约翰·韦恩和拉娜·特纳,他们每年都会光顾她的店。 1960 年,悲剧以一场火灾的形式发生。她被迫搬迁工作室,再也没有恢复之前的成功,公司于 1974 年倒闭。玛戈特允许她雇用的几位银匠使用她的模具在他们自己的,以换取债务减免。结果,玛戈特的许多作品都被 Jaimie Quiroz 和 Geronimo Fuentes 等银匠重新制作,带有他们的标志,而不是她的标志。 Margot 于 1985 年去世。但自她去世以来,她作为设计师的才华和作为艺术家的影响力不断获得认可。 玛戈特的商店生产了一些凸纹银(一种从银饰背面锤打出凸起或浮雕图案的技术)。但她最出名的是她的内填珐琅作品。内填珐琅是通过雕刻、蚀刻、敲击或在工件表面铸造凹槽或单元并用釉质填充而制成的。在玛戈特的珠宝中,设计是模压的,这一过程对于最终产品来说非常详细且至关重要。玛戈特制作了许多套装,包括项链、胸针、手链、耳环以及可转换珠宝。 Margot de Taxco 珠宝以其优雅、女性气质和多样性而闻名。 玛戈特的作品在很多方面都有影响。她的鱼和波浪图案表达了她对日本艺术的热爱。华丽的漩涡和花卉图案让人想起新艺术风格。前哥伦布时代淘气的人物是一个反复出现的主题。装饰艺术风格的芭蕾舞演员摆出优雅的姿势。玛戈特还喜欢埃及图案和墨西哥工艺品。 Margot de Taxco 的作品以印有她的名字 Eagle 16(或 Eagle 1,代表她早期作品)以及生产编号的印记为特色。鹰印章由政府发行,是识别身份的一种方式

Samuel LaFountain - Diné, Turtle Mountain Chippewa Modernist silver cuff bracelet Samuel Greatwalker LaFountain was born in 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has been making jewelry for over 22 years. He infuses contemporary concepts with his traditional background, creating beautiful pieces of art. Hallmarked with his G and 2 dragonflies. Award winning artist. 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.

c1940‘s Matl Cross pendant Sterling Turquoise Amethyst and coral Designed by Matilde Poulat (AKA "Matl" (Aztec for "Water") who is & always will be one of my personal favorites that made her fame during the "Mexican Silver Renaissance Days" & later..She was a painter & designer 1st & was born in the Yucatan & later on went to study at the San Carlos Academy in Mexico City at the same time the famous muralist & husband to Frida Kahlo,Diego Rivera was studying there..One of her 1st teachers was a "P.OCHOA",a man whose works you rarely come across & you will find Matl‘s earliest works,emulating Ochoa‘s,which was nothing like the style she ended up owning.She opened shop in 1934 & ended up having her own ‘signature look",which to this day people still pay homage to her designs. She produced some of the most ornate jewelry that was being produced in Mexico back in the day..The inspirations she fell back on were inspired from the Mixtec people of Monte Alban, Oaxaca area. Each designer during the Mexican Silver Renaissance days had their own unique style,but it was Matilde,who brought the beautiful motifs of doves, flowers, and tiny bells that are reminiscent of the whimsical subjects of contemporary Mexican folk art...The beauty of her metal work,was so time consuming & was considered Baroque in style with a undeniably "Mexican"look.. She was known for laying round turquoise or coral cabochons all in one bezel that was then crimped‘ to hold the stones in,rather than setting them individually & you will see the perfect example of this style in this pin,which gives her piece‘s a whole different look,because of this. Another one of her signature styles was her time consuming ‘chasing‘ work in the metal,as well as using ‘pyramidal‘ cuts of amethyst.Every piece made are works of art..She is highly collectible!! She taught her nephew Ricardo Salas the art of jewelry making & taught him her style that was signature to only her & worked side by side her till her death in 1960 & while continuing to stay true & keep her style alive till his death in 2007.

He sought out remote villages in the state of Guerrero, 110 miles<br>from Mexico City, where in some places Nahuatl, the Aztec language, was spoken.<br>Spratling collected artifacts and contemporary indigenous crafts. Spratling made<br>a fortune manufacturing and designing silver, but his true life's work was to<br>conserve, redeem, and interpret the ancient culture of his adopted country. He<br>explained for North American audiences the paintings of Mexico's modern masters<br>and earned distinction as a learned and early collector of pre-Columbian art.<br>Spratling and his workshop gradually became a visible and culturally attractive<br>link between a steady stream of notable American visitors and the country they<br>wanted to see and experience. Spratling had the rare good fortune to witness his<br>own reputation -- as one of the most admired Americans in Mexico -- assume<br>legendary status before his death. William Spratling, His Life and Art vividly<br>reconstructs this richly diverse life whose unique aesthetic legacy is but a<br>part of its larger cultural achievement of profoundly influencing Americans'<br>attitudes toward a civilization different from their own.

Kenneth Begay Navajo White Hogan Modernist Sterling salt spoons/ironwood bowl. Selling the three Kenneth Begay salt spoons and Ironwood salt bowl shown. No issues. Weight and measurements in pics. Kenneth Begay (1913-1977) was called the “Father of Contemporary Navajo jewelry for his clean, bold, modern designs. Begay began as a blacksmith, took his first course in silversmithing from Fred Peshlakai at the Fort Wingate Vocational School for the Native Americans in Fort Wingate, New Mexico in 1938. Fred Peshlakai had been taught by his father, Slender Maker of Silver, who was trained by Atsidi Chon, one of the earliest Navajo silversmiths. Begay in turn taught traditional techniques of silversmithing to his own students from 1968-1973 at Navajo Community College in Many Farms, Arizona. In 1946, Begay started working with John Bonnell at the White Hogan shop in Flagstaff, Arizona, beginning an 18 year relationship. In collaboration with Bonnell, Begay moved Indian jewelry beyond personal adornment and into the arena of pure metalsmithing making, amongst other things, flatware sets, plates, boxes, and vessels of various kinds. Although highly unusual at this time among silversmiths, 1951-1952, he also began signing his jewelry using KB. When working for the White Hogan he additionally stamped his pieces with a small hogan. A master metalsmith, Kenneth Begay was very creative and strongly influenced by his traditional background. In his jewelry this translated to a balance between silver, stone and bold but unpretentious designs. He created clean, elegant designs based on streamlined shapes that were repeated to form balanced and harmonious patterns, a style that has been compared to Navajo weaving. Although he used and taught the old techniques, Begay explained near the end of his life, “I like to create something new and still use the old Navajo design style. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed,

约 1968 年弗兰克·帕塔尼亚 (Frank Patania Jr) 西南现代主义纯银博洛币,饰有绿松石和 100 比索墨西哥硬币。当然,Bolo(不含包装盒)重 94 克。配有原装 Thunderbird 商店盒子(盒子顶部 4 个角中的 3 个角分开。Bolo 幻灯片高 2.5 英寸 x 2 3/8 英寸宽 38 英寸长。我认为这件作品必须是在 1968 年制作的,这一年硬币最多在一两年后发行。 小弗兰克接受的培训为当代美国工艺史上注入了一股新鲜空气。要理解这一指导的重要性,我们必须看看老弗兰克,他带着工业革命后意大利学徒制度的经验来到美国。这对手工制作传统产生了持久的影响。大规模生产成为日常生活的一部分。对受过良好教育的熟练工匠的服务需求下降了,培训他们的学徒计划也减少了。人们普遍认为,大规模生产的产品通常质量比大多数人所能制造的要好。许多工匠被迫关门,加入工厂当设计师。 只要浏览 20 世纪初的任何“Sears and Roebuck”目录,大规模生产对珠宝设计的影响就显而易见。由于这些产品是为大众制造的,因此设计常常“简单化”,反映了反复植根于过去趋势的“安全”主题。繁衍成为民族审美。然而,美国境内也有一些“口袋”是例外。例如,卡洛商店和罗伊克罗夫特正在教授学徒计划,但与大规模生产的压倒性影响相比,它们只是小因素。像许多第一代美国孩子一样,小弗兰克被鼓励接受正规教育。有趣的是,他没有选择应用艺术,而是选择了美国历史,辅修人类学。反思自己的选择,他相信他的父亲会认为应用艺术学位是“浪费时间”,因为没有什么可以与他已经传授给儿子的手工艺教育相比。 当小弗兰克全职加入商店时,人们对工艺品的态度已经发生了重大变化。战后的美国见证了建筑、工业设计和手工艺的爆炸式发展。几十年来,手工艺第一次受到新的重视,这在很大程度上要归功于大学和手工艺学校对手工艺者的大力支持。从 20 世纪 40 年代和 50 年代重要展览的激增可以看出当代珠宝运动的健康发展。 1946 年,纽约现代艺术博物馆迈出了重要的一步,举办了首届大型当代珠宝展览。Design Quarterly 和 Craft Horizon(现为 American Craft)等杂志专门用了完整版块来介绍设计和当代珠宝。 到 20 世纪 50 年代,许多人开始专业规模制作当代珠宝。同年,美国手工艺委员会召开了第一次会议,来自 30 个州的 450 多名手工艺人参加了会议。在为期三天的会议中,他们解决了年轻工匠关心的许多问题,包括:1)工匠与社会在经济和社会美学方面的关系; 2)与技术相关的设计重要性; 3)小企业专业实践中的问题。虽然美国的许多年轻工匠刚刚第一次解决这些问题,但图森和圣达菲的 Thunderbird 商店已经找到了这些问题的解决方案,并将其实施到一个允许商店创造力的系统中在保持财务成功的同时蓬勃发展。 今天,小弗兰克和他的妻子唐娜往返于图森和圣达菲之间。小弗兰克 (Frank, Jr.) 表示,他很感激自己所获得的生活,并承认他很高兴能够以自己喜欢的方式谋生,并最终到达一个可以创作自己选择的作品而不受外界压力的地方。市场。 (图25-27)他希望儿子Sam能够继承家族的姓氏和传统,认识到年轻设计师与家庭的斗争以及支付工资的压力,同时仍保持自己独特的风格。

He was active from the early 70's until the late 20th century.. His older mark from the 1970's looks like a tadpole and has been misattributed to "Edward Zuni", but I'm 100% sure this is Benny Armijo's work and hallmark, it's been confirmed by his living relatives.

Many years later maybe around 1989 he stamped his jewelry with Benny Armijo. He lived in California for many years and returned to New Mexico and passed away January 2022. He was known for his stone inlay on what he called a Hopi wedding band in which all the stones were inlaid inside the ring or bracelet. Giving the thought that the beauty between the couple is in the eye of the beholder and the couple would choose the different color of stones and their meanings to be inlaid on their wedding bands.

vintage Frank Patania Thunderbird Shop "Caballeros del Sol" Sterling/turquoise bolo tie. Solid sterling silver, weight and measurements in pics (scale tared out with containter, weight shown is just the bolo). Fully functional with overall attractive appearance. 38" total length. In 1927 Italian immigrant Frank Patania Sr. opened the Thunderbird Shop in Santa Fe which sold Native American handmade arts and crafts. Patania, a trained goldsmith and fine jewelry designer, had become enamored with Native American jewelry. He quickly turned his talents to designing and fabricating sterling silver and turquoise jewelry inspired by Native designs, developing a new type of Southwest jewelry, termed “Thunderbird style which combined Mediterranean elegance with traditional Native American materials. He became known for his exquisite craftsmanship and unique jewelry designs which displayed great attention to detail. As his business grew, Patania required assistance in the workshop and in 1932 hired Charles Begay, a skilled Navajo silversmith. He became the first of many Native Americans to work for the Patanias as silversmiths in the Thunderbird Shop in Santa Fe, and later also in Tucson. Some of these artists remained employed until retirement, while others, after becoming versed in the Thunderbird style, departed to work on their own, carrying with them the influence and inspiration of Patania family designs. Those who carried the Thunderbird style into their own successful careers were Lewis Lomay, Julian Lovato, Jimmie Herald and Harry Sakyesva, whose talents and body of work still resonate long after their passing. The history of the Cabaleros Del Sol- As retold by charter members Schuy Lininger and Stub Ashcraft In the mid 1920s, two doctors named Huett and Kline who specialized in the care of tubercular (TB) patients saw the need to begin touting the great dry heat of Tucson as the perfect place to be for people with lung problems. This need along with the desire of Tucson business people to get more people to visit and move to The Old Pueblo eventually evolved into an organization called the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club. Many years later, the visitors & Convention Bureau was added to the professional heading. For the next 37 years (1926- 1963), the Sunshine Climate Club grew as the premier organization to bring and develop new business to Tucson. The organization was funded in part by both the city of Tucson and Pima County. Some of the greatest early “City Fathers of Tucson served this group. As the Chamber of Commerce grew both the City and County decided to quit funding the Sunshine Climate Club as they felt there were some overlapping between the two organizations. So in 1963, two key people- Frank Drachman and Roy Miller convinced the entire Board of Directors of the Sunshine Climate Club to dissolve their Club and become a standing committee in the Tucson Chamber of Commerce. The group would be call the Caballeros Del Sol and Roy Miller (who ran the J.C. Penney store downtown) would become the first El Jefe. They put sunshine in cans, models in cactus “bathing suits and Tucson in the underwood of every travel writer in the country. “Nobody did the things we did to promote tourism says C.L. “Stubs Ashcraft, general manger back in the ‘50s of the old Tucson Sunshine Climate Club. Who else would: : Scoop out the tops of two saguaro cactus arms, fashion them into a “bra, and have the end result modeled by a local high school girl? : Welcome the Cleveland Indians to town with smoke signals from atop “A Mountain? : Get the superintendent of Saguaro National Monument to draw beer from a cactus? How you gonna get “em out to the desert? With sunshine, sex and rootin tootin atmosphere. For 40 years, that was the winning formula used by the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club to bring visitors to town- until a merger put an end to all the good times. It began with a rivalry. “By 1920, Phoenixs population was the larger than Tucsons, says Roy P. Drachman, general manager of the Sunshine Climate Club, 1939- 1945. Naturally says Drachman, this “annoyed a few Tucson businessman. So car dealers Monte Mansfield and L.C. “Jessie James decided to form an organization to promote tourism. In 1922, the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club held its first meeting. Far from feeling usurped, the Chamber of Commerce welcomed the move, says Drachman. “There was a lot of overlap. Many of the same members served on both boards. Money came from local businesses, which bought up memberships, and from the city and county, which helped pay for advertising in publications across the country. Back then, Tucson was still considered a health mecca. “I think we spent more money in the American Medical Association Journal than any other publication, says Drachman. When he took over as manager in 1939, Drachman hired two photographers, Chuck Abbot and Robert Burns, who took pictures of prominent folk visiting the desert and then sent the photos to various news organizations, where they received wide play. “We had a clipping service, says Drachman. “We kept big sheets of brown paper covered with clippings we got back from photos we had sent out. The club also co- sponsored a modeling club, using high school girls, mainly from Tucson High, to sell the Old Pueblo. “Wed put them in a pair of boots, shorts, shirt and a hat and send them out in the desert with Ray Manley, says Ashcraft. “Wed put them up against a cactus or in a field of poppies, anything for publicity. The Clubs finest hour for cheesecake however, probably came during Drachmans reign. “We hollowed the tops out of a saguaro cactus and made a bra, says Drachman.“Then we took prickly pear cactus pads and cut all the thorns off and hung them on wire for a skirt. Then we put a model from Tucson High in that outfit and took her picture. Life magazine printed it, full page. By the time Ashcraft came on board as the general manager in 1952, the publicity machine was in high gear. “I used to lie awake at nights thinking of things to do. Such as passing out cans of “sunshine. Or posing a model in a $ 3,500.00 pair of mink “jeans. Or having the Cleveland Indians pull a stagecoach with their manager on board, cracking the whip. Naturally all of this was photographed for play in the Eastern papers. Ashcrafts golden moment may have come in 1955, when a group of travel writers arrived in town on a junket sponsored by American Airlines. “First thing we did was take them downtown and get them outfitted with jeans, shirts, boots and a hat, says Ashcraft. Then they took them to the Forty Niners Ranch for a party. “The next morning, most of these folks had hangovers like you couldnt believe, says Ashcraft. “Then we got them up on horses for a ride to Saguaro National Monument. By the time we got them there, their tongues were hanging out by a mile. What the writers didnt know was that a chuck wagon filled with draft beer had been set up at the monument. Standing next to the chuck wagon was a mannequin in a squaw dress, and next to the mannequin was a saguaro cactus, with a thin tube running through it. The tube was a conduit, allowing beer to flow from a keg in the chuck wagon to a spigot on the outside of the cactus. “After we got there, we had John Lewis, who was the superintendent of the monument, give this talk on the flora and the fauna of the desert, says Ashcraft. “It was the most boring thing you had ever heard. Then he bent over and the mannequins hand fell on the spigot and the beer started to flow. You should have seen the eyes of those travel writers. As with most of the clubs stunts, this one, says Ashcraft, followed the script “right down to a gnats eyebrow. Such was not the case, however, the day the club welcomed the Cleveland Indians to town with a smoke- signal greeting. “Every year when the Cleveland Indians came to town for spring training, we tried to top what we had done the year before, says Ashcraft. “So I thought, ‘Ah, lets welcome ‘em with smoke signals. “I went down to Indian Village Trading Post. They had an Indian there who did sand painting, and I said, ‘Freddy I dont remember his last name- ‘Do you know how to make smoke signals? He said yes, ‘Sure, so we arranged it. Ashcraft also arranged for American Airlines, which was bringing the team to town, to fly directly over “A Mountain where the signals would be sent. The day arrived. “It was a nasty damn day, recalls Ashcraft. “The wind must have been blowing about 100 miles per hour. And of course we had invited the local press and photographers there. Ray Manley was there and for some reason he had brought along a couple of old tires. It never dawned on any of us the consequences of what we were about to do. “So we got the fire started and Ray threw the tires on it and the black smoke started pouring out. Then the sheriffs car came up the road, its lights blinking. They didnt want to come all the way up, and they were hollering at us to come down. We were scared to death. “Well, people were calling all over. “A Mountain used to be a volcano and people thought it was erupting again. “Anyway, the time came for the plane to come over. Freddy has the blanket. Here comes the plane. Freddy and his friend put the blanket down over the tire- and it burned a hole right in the middle of the damned blanket. “I said, ‘Freddy, what in the hell happened? He said, ‘I forgot. We were supposed to wet the blanket. In 1962, the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club merged with the Chamber of Commerce Industrial Development Board, in an effort to strengthen the chamber and do away with duplication of effort. “That killed the club, says Ashcraft. But not its past deeds. “When we started out, we were getting the tourists, says Ashcraft. “They liked it and came back as winter visitors. Then they decide to retire here. We had businessmen come here, decide to have a convention, then relocate their businesses here. Now, there isnt the Western atmosphere anymore. Asked if perhaps the Tucson Sunshine Climate Club did its job to well, Ashcraft sits and reflects by the pool of a midtown hotel, a hundred feet away from the rush of the traffic along Alvernon Way. Finally, the words come: “If I could do it all over again, I wouldnt do it. I loved the Old Pueblo.

Lewis Lomay was born in 1913 on the Hopi Reservation and began his fine arts career during the 30‘s in Albuquerque, NM. He studied painting at the Indian School under Florence Prentiss. His skill and love of painting brought him to Santa Fe where he began to innovate the traditional "flat" style. These innovations did not suit his teachers, so from there he moved on to making jewelry. From this point on in his career, Lomay became one of the best jewelers of his time. He worked and studied with Frank Patania in Santa Fe. He worked in both silver and gold, letting his influences range from traditional to European. His work became known for its innovation, and he is noted for being a designer ahead of his time. Marked or unmarked as shown in pics, weight and other measurements in pics.

Antonio Pineda (1919-2009) Taxco Mixed metals horse head pin measurements in pics. Buying the exact item shown with no issues. Sterling and copper. Antonio Pineda (1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero,large-scale mining can be dated to thesixteenth century, and silver is a way of life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20), jewelry and other silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach, 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 in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda, a 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. So, for example, a thickgeometric necklace that might at first glance seem<br>too weighty or rigid to wear comfortably is, in fact,faceted, hinged, or<br>hollowed in such a way that it gracefully encircles the neck or drapes<br>seductivelydown the décolletage.In addition, no other taxqueño jeweler used as many costly semiprecious stones or set them with asmuch ingenuity, skill, and<br>variety as did Pineda.

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 Mexicos 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. Most rings are shown on a a ring sizer in the pictures and the size is typically given at the beginning of the title and description. Women's Size 6 Ring.

c1940 Early Matl 930 silver cross pendant. Late 30‘s-early 40‘s. No issues, weight and measurements in pics. Selling pendant and giving necklace free with it. This isn‘t as big or fancy as some of the later crosses, but I believe it‘s rare if not one of a kind and likely made by Poulat herself. Also known by her jewelry studio name MATL, Matilde Poulat was a Mexican silversmith and jewelry designer. Best known for her exquisite and intricate necklaces, Matilde was an exceptional craftsman, fashioning handset pieces that alternate between opulent and ebullient. Poulats career took off when she launched her studio in 1934. Only a decade later she would set the tone for the rest of the industry, inspiring silversmiths in Mexico, California, and beyond to copy her designs. These pieces have come to be synonymous with the name MATL, even when they arent made by Poulat, often being described as Matl-esque. That said, there is only one Matilde Poulat and her pieces are ultimately un-copyable. Starting as a painter, Matilde brought much of her colorful aesthetic to the jewelry making business, coming up with designs that absolutely pop with fresh colors of the American Southwest and Mexico. Matl pieces were extremely popular during Poulats lifetime, and that demand has only increased as the years have gone by. These pieces of jewelry are considered extremely rare and many dont see the open market, making any upcoming Poulat auctions something to watch out for. Matilde Poulat was a Mexican jeweler and silversmith whose pieces were famed for their ornateness and their color. Best known for the work she did with her own studio, MATL, a Poulat necklace shows two things: perfect knowledge of silversmith craftsmanship and a whimsical, fun side to jewelry that to that point hadnt been explored. That whimsy made MATL an extremely popular brand during her lifetime. It was impossible to get a Poulat piece for many years. Utilizing opal, amethysts, and one-of-a-kind pyramidal designs, Poulat was able to create pieces that had never been thought of, let alone created, before by a jewelry maker. Her practice was continued by her nephew, Ricardo Salas, upon her death in 1960.

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.

Frances Holmes Boothby modernist sterling silver abstract belt buckle. Fits up to a 1.25" belt. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Fully functional, with no issues. Circa third quarter of the 20th century. Frances Holmes Boothby (19192000) created unique modernist jewelry for nearly four decades, from the mid-1940s to the early 1980s. In addition to traditional modernist geometric and abstract designs, she made unique, whimsical pieces inspired by cartoons, including the Bird and Animal series. Working primarily in sterling silver, Frances sometimes used gold, brass, wood, resin, natural stones, pearls, and glass. She signed her pieces with the capital letters STERLING and the lowercase initials fhb. Undoubtedly, Frances Holmes Boothby made a significant contribution to the American wearable art movement through her exhibitions and teaching of jewelry making. For example, in 1948, she first presented her work at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. As early as 1955, she opened a studio in New York where she created her jewelry and taught jewelry making. According to 1958 newspaper ad, Frances Holmes Boothby exhibited her jewelry at New York State Fair. Later, Frances handcrafted jewelry in her Silver Workshop in Weston, Vermont, where she was active until the early 1980s. Frances Holmes Boothby died at the age of 80 in Sedona, Arizona. Made in limited quantities, today the artists works can be found both in the collections of lovers of modernist and vintage jewelry, and in national art galleries.

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.

Retro Robert Farrell Sterling sodalite post modernist bracelet 7" long bracelet, weight and measurements in pics. I believe these danglies were added by the last owner, it tooks great with them on but could be easily removed as the jump rings aren‘t soldered. I don‘t think the actual danglies are solid sterling. I don‘t believe the artist that made this bracelet would have used unsoldered jump rings as all of his work I have seen including this bracelet without the danglies is absolute perfection. One of the danglies is missing.I believe Robert made jewelry in the last quarter of the 20th century, I believe now his focus is Architectural sculptures which are fantastic. The quality of workmanship here is way above most studio jewelry in my opinion, I have a feeling it took him quite some time to creat each piece and that‘s why he went on to apply his skills in more

Kee Nez Navajo Modernist sterling feather pin with high grade coral. Solid sterling, weight and measurements in pics. Navajo silversmith, Kee Nez, is a member of the Many-Goats clan and is from an artistic family. His mother is a rug weaver and his grandfather was a silversmith, but he credits his award-winning brother, Al Nez, with influencing his style. Kee uses 14K gold and sterling silver to create his stunning handcrafted surface design on bolas, rings, pendants, and earrings. He often uses sandcasting techniques to produce each item and many times uses the finest American turquoise or richly colored coral as a focal point on the piece. Kee was featured in Arizona Highways in the article “A New Generation of Indian Artists and has several pieces showcased in the books, Enduring Traditions and Navajo Indian Jewelry by Jerry and Lois Jacka. He has garnered numerous awards at Gallup, New Mexicos Annual Intertribal Ceremonial.

Large 1970‘s Brutalist Sterling Modernist pendant with Chrysoberyl Cat‘s eye stone. Dated 1973 with other illegible hallmarks. No issues, weight and measurements in pics. I know nothing about this piece other than it‘s 50 years old, solid sterling, most likely American made and fantastic. 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.

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.
