Vintage Mexican – Salvador Teran – beyond jewelry

I love vintage Mexican silver — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:11:00 +0000

Salvador Teran was a cousin of the Castillos. He worked for them, and for Spratling as well.

Teran created jewelry that is known for its whimsical style. He was influenced by contemporary art to a much greater degree than Spratling or Los Castillos.

In addition to jewelry, Salvador Teran created some very interesting pieces of metalware. One of these, a vintage brass and glass pepper tray, is currently offered for sale by Wayjo Vintage:

Mexican Jewelry and Metal Art – a good book for your library

I love vintage Mexican silver — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:18:54 +0000

A number of books have been written about Mexican silver jewelry, but much less has been written about other metal objects created by the same famous designers. Los Castillo, Salvador Teran, Victoria, Miguel Martinez, Pineda, Bernice Goodspeed, and Estele Popowski are just a few who created silver, mixed metal, and other metal designs.

Mexican Jewelry & Metal Art, by Leslie Pina (2009), is an extremely useful reference book if you want to learn more. More than 1000 color photographs accompanied by detailed captions and value ranges, a bibliography, an illustrated glossary, and illustrated hallmarks are included.

Pina has written or co-authored many different books aimed at collectors, including Mexican Silver Jewelry Details(2008), one of the most complete reference books on this topic.

Vintage Mexican Silver: More Than Jewelry

I love vintage Mexican silver — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:16:37 +0000

Vintage Mexican silver jewelry has, of course, become a really popular collectible. And many good books have helped raise awareness about Mexico-designed silver jewelry.

Less attention has been paid to other metal objects – silver and otherwise - made by the same designers so well-known for their jewelry. Hector Aguilar, Salvador Teran, Los Castillos, Miguel Martinez, Sigi Pineda, Victoria, and Bernice Goodspeed are just a few of the designers who went beyond silver jewelry.

Mexican Jewelry & Metal Art, by Leslie Pina, is a great book that goes beyond jewelry to show the range and creativity in metal work of designers we mostly associate with Mexican silver jewelry. It has detailed captions with value ranges accompanying 1000+ color photographs and includes a bibliography, index, illustrated glossary, and illustrated hallmarks – highly recommended!

Here are a few interesting examples of metal art from some of the great Mexican designers:

Hector Aguilar hand-wrought copper bowl with brass trim at M.Schon

Los Castillo mixed metals box; wonderful inlaid design with azure-malachite at M. Schon

Sigi Pineda mixed metals and inlaid stone plaque at M.Schon

You can see many more fine pieces at the M.Schon gallery.
