Pair William Spratling (1900 - 1967) Mexican Tin Candelabras
-
Description
This pair of Spratling Seven-Light Tin Candelabras was created c. 1935 -1945 and is in overall very good condition considering the age, utilitarian use of the candelabra and the more fragile nature of the tin with which the pair is made. Both of the Candelabras are signed "Taxco/WS/Mexico".
William Spratling (1900-1967) is known for reviving the silver trade in the town of Taxco, Mexico, which was one of the centers of Spanish silver mining during the Colonial Era. Spratling was, in addition, influential in the design and creation of tin pieces inspired by the designs of higher quality silver pieces, Mexico's colonial past and pre-Columbian art. Spratling's tin pieces are quite rare and are highly desirable collectibles. -
