Rare Antonio Pineda Sterling and Onyx Necklace

Creator: Antonio Pineda
Offered by: TFTM

Description
This rare Antonio Pineda silver with onyx inlay necklace is one of his more modern designs. It lies beautifully. This necklace is signed on the verso. In 1933, at age 11, Antonio Pineda began hand crafting silver as the first apprentice to the American “Father of Mexican Silver”, William Spratling. After several years of training, in 1939 Antonio opened his own silver workshop. His designs were extremely modernist and beautifully crafted. An exhibition in 1944 alongside of Magreret De Patta and Georg Jensen at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco solidified Antonio’s place internationally as one of the finest modern silversmiths of the mid 20th century.
