Vtg. 1940's MATL Matilde Poulat STERLING SILVER AMETHYST TURQUOISE Ring Size 7.5

Description

Vintage 1940's MATL Matilde Poulat STERLING SILVER AMETHYST TURQUOISE Ring Size 7.5 Possibly the most influential artist and designer of the Mexican Jewelry Renaissance, MATL was inspired by the discovery of 1932 in Oaxaca of pre-hispanic gold and silver jewelry and by Mexican folk art. Offered this week is a rare and beautiful, exquisitely detailed, jeweled sterling silver ring featuring a carved pyramidal amethyst stone surrounded by tiny round channel set turquoise stones, with elaborate sculptural silver wire scrollwork design over all. Matilde Poulat's signature designs were introduced to the world in 1941 when she participated in an exhibit of Latin American silver at the Pan American Union in Washington D.C., where her designs received ecstatic international recognition. Poulat designed, but did not personally create every piece, nor did she personally sign them. Her workshop was small, and to satisfy the demand for her art, she contracted with other artists. Foremost was her friend, the brilliant artist Gustavo Martinez, famous in his own right, who helped to produce her art. I personally have MATL jewelry, identically produced both by her workshop artists and by Martinez. This ring is unsigned, (as are many of these early 40's pieces). It is an exquisite original MATL, possibly created by Martinez. A beautiful matching MATL ring is offered this week on another of my current auctions. The condition is excellent, all stones are original and intact. No damage noted. A museum worthy piece, reflecting the very best of collectible ethnic fine vintage jewelry art. I do not accept returns, unless I've made an unintentional error in description. I describe everything to the best of my ability and point out any flaws. Please look at all the photos and ask any questions before bidding. I want you to be happy with your purchase. Insured Domestic Shipping is quoted. Inquire for International. I list more unique and beautiful Native American and ethnic jewelry throughout the week, so please take a minute and have a look to see what turns up....Thanks for stopping by....
