ESTATE TAXCO HORSEHEAD ANTONIO PINEDA BROOCH

This magnificent Antonio Pineda Taxco Horse Brooch is a rare and captivating piece reflective of the mid-century modernist movement. Dated between 1948 and 1953, the brooch features the faded yet distinguishable Antonio Pineda crown mark, authenticating its vintage and origin. Crafted from high silver content, likely 970 sterling silver, which Pineda frequently utilized, this brooch boasts a sculptural quality, with its polished surface and dramatic mane detail presenting a dynamic equine profile. More than just a wearable item, this brooch is a work of art, encapsulating the bold and innovative spirit that defines the Vintage Antonio Pineda Jewelry Collection.
