DESIGNER/COMPANY/LOCATION:
Espinosa:
Little is known about this skilled Mexican Silversmith. The name is mentioned in Hougart’s book on pages 63 and 242 and the maker is said to be from Taxco, The Silver Capital of the World.” Though I’ve seen an Eagle 3 Taxco assay mark on a few pieces, most are Pre-eagle which date them to before 1948, the date when the Eagle mark was first instituted. The artist’s work is relatively scarce and the pieces I’ve seen all have a Spanish Colonial, shadowbox cut-out design.
METAL:
Sterling Silver
DETAILS:
~ c.1940s Handwrought Dangle/Drop Earrings
~ Spanish Colonial Shadowbox Dimensional Design with Scrollwork Flourishes & Geometric Cut-outs
~ Screw Backs
~ Stamps: Espinosa Sterling, The screws have FI, Guad., & another faded mark and were made by a different silversmith.
CONDITION:
Excellent Vintage condition overall with very minor surface wear considering the age! Patina is present and I’ve not polished the piece.
