| EXCEPTIONAL STERLING & WOOD PENDANT BY HENRY STEIG | ||||
|
|
From a private collection, an early
and fabulous pendant by mid 20th century American artist, Henry
Steig; wood, silver, and tiger's eye agate; about 3-1/2" long x
2-1/2" wide; marked; "STEIG, STERLING;" great patina and
condition; non-original 19" sterling chain. Henry Steig (1906-1973) had a shop in New York in the 1950s-1960s. Jazz had a significant influence on his work--Steig was a musician who played saxophone and clarinet with dance bands in New York during the 1920s-30s. He studied art at the National Academy of Design, but was mostly a self-taught metalsmith. His jewelry designs are modern and sophisticated, evidencing his training in design and sculpture. His work is featured in both of my books, Modernist Jewelry, 1930-1960, The Wearable Art Movement and Form & Function, American Modernist Jewelry, 1940 - 1970 and was included in the exhibit American Modernist Jewelry, 1940 - 1970 at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, 2008.

| STERLING SILVER/JASPER PENDANT WITH HANDWROUGHT CHAIN BY FELICE | ||||
|
|
Sterling Silver/Jasper Pendant/Handwrought Chain,signed FELICE
People in the Silverforum group will be familiar with Felice, though her work isn’t found very often. I’ve owned a couple of her pieces over the years and both were beautiful and well crafted. This large piece is no exception. The round pendant with cutout shapes randomly applied is set with a big oval stone that I believe is jasper. It hangs from a long handwrought chain. Both the chain and the pendant are signed by the artist. Size: Pendant is 2 1/2” in diameter, 3” long including bale. Chain drops 12 ” from back neck Marks: Pendant marked Sterling Handmade FELICE, chain is marked Sterling Felice on one link Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Nice patina.
Price: $288.00 including
free US shipping. |

| VINTAGE PAUL LOBEL MODERNIST BROOCH | ||||
|
|
This vintage PAUL LOBEL MODERNIST BROOCH is a beauty. When I
researched Lobel's work, I saw that he did any number of designs
that revolved around loops/curls of silver, but no other pins
quite like this one. The center dome is silver. I know it
looks like a dark stone, but I've given up trying to get the
whole piece to gleam at the same time; I know when I'm licked .
. . The pin is 2 1/16" long and 1 3/8" across at its widest
point. There are a couple small, light, but visible surface
scratches. Overall, it's in great vintage condition, and the
safety catch is in good working order.

| BOB WINSTON STERLING PENDANT | ||||
|
|
Here is a recent find, a Bob Winston Pendant in Sterling. The pendant measures approximately 2 7/8ths inches x 2 inches x 3/8ths inches and is in PERFECT condition. This came from the Estate of Frank and Theresa Caplan the founders of Creative Playthings. Bob Winston (1915-2203) was a very early innovator in the lost-wax casting process and this piece has all of the traits you want to see in early experimental casting. He was also a teacher at California College of Arts and Crafts starting in 1942 – with students such as Robert Dhaemers and Irena Brynner. According to his son Dr. Bob Winston this piece dates from the late 1950’s and is typical for his fathers cast pieces. I also have a fabulous Bob Winston ring, which I plan to hold onto for the time being. Stylistically this piece has all of the most desirable aspects of Winston. It is truly jewelry in the round. It is slightly difficult to see in the images but the piece is almost ½” thick which allow for multiple attachment options, horizontally, vertically or something in between. There is no real “front” side in my opinion. It would be quite easy to also wear this piece as a Broach. If you are interested in a chain or a friendly broach attachment I can fabricate either in my studio for an additional cost. I have been a working Metalsmith since the early 1990’s and you can see some of my work on www.mschon.com under David Jones or our limited production line under MADE. Winston pieces do not appear often and this may be your opportunity to add a true modernist masterpiece to your collection. Feel free to contact me with any and all questions at made@hometownu.com or call 484 646 9158 Thanks and have a great day! David Jones SOLD |

ED LEVIN STERLING/EBONY DOVE PENDANT WITH CHAIN |
||||
|
|
This is the iconic dove pendant shown in the Modern section of
Ed Levin’s Bennington Vermont catalog from the 1960s. The
pendant is made of two parts--the dove is beautifully cut out of
sterling silver, and is backed by a slab of ebony wood that has
a little sterling eye. The front swings in front of the back,
suspended by a large bale. The pendant comes with a sterling
chain, that I believe is original to Ed Levin, though not the
same as the one shown in the catalog. size: 2 1/4” x 2 “ at widest part marks: Unsigned, but it is documented in the Levin catalog (the page can be seen in Marbeth Schon’s book, Modernist Jewelry 1930-1960?? condition: Very good vintage condition, the silver has the usual light scratches typical of a piece of this age.
