About the Item

Being offered is a circa 1955 silver bracelet by Antonio Pineda of Taxco, Mexico. I am so pleased to be able to offer you this beautiful Modernist 970 silver bracelet by the best of the best, Antonio Pineda of Taxco, Mexico, circa 1955. This bracelet is very heavy at 142 grams of solid 970 silver (purer than sterling) and is made of long links with a concave center in a clean, Modernist style. It's a stunning example of this master's work and closes with a slide in clasp with the additional security of a thick safety chain. This bracelet was made by Jose Maria Pineda, a master silversmith working in Pineda's taller; Maria Pineda also worked for several years with Hector Aguilar. In December of 2009, Sr. Pineda passed away at 90 years of age in Taxco. There was a lengthy obituary in the Los Angeles Time of December 20, 2009, where they go on to state, in part,....."Antonio Pineda, the internationally renowned Mexican modernist silversmith who was praised for his bold, striking jewelry designs and ingenious use of gemstones, has died. A Taxco native, Pineda was among the most prominent of the many silversmiths to emerge from the mountain mining town beginning in the 1930s." "He was the subject of a 2008-09 exhibition at UCLA's Fowler Museum, "Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda," which traced the evolution of his work through the 1970s. 'He was certainly one of the major modernist silversmiths in the 1950s, '60s and certainly into the '70s,' said Betsy Quick, the Fowler's director of education and the show's in-house curator. 'There was a small cadre of extremely well-known, well-respected and brilliant silversmiths living in Taxco, Mexico, and the rest of those smiths have, at this point, passed away,' Quick said. 'Antonio really was the last of the great silversmiths of this period.' " "At age 11, he had a brief apprenticeship in the Taxco silver jewelry workshop of U.S. designer and entrepreneur William Spratling, who had moved to the area in the late 1920s. Pineda later apprenticed with Mexico City painter and silversmith Valentin Vidauretta and returned to Taxco in 1936. He was involved in mining and worked in sales and management at Spratling's workshop before opening his own silver jewelry workshop in 1939. At his peak, Pineda employed nearly 100 other silversmiths. A major turning point in his career came in 1944 when his work was included in an exhibition at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Pineda's work grew to include sculpture, and he began exhibiting internationally, including in Chicago, Paris, London, Rome, Amsterdam and Mexico City."
