Pieces by Rafael Dominguez do not come around to often any more. He is noted by Penny Morrill in the book Mexican Silver for his heavy silver and exceptional workmanship. This necklace is splendid weighing 106.5 grams. The drops are 1.25in. long and they are very heavy repousse. The necklace is 16in. long and features an 8mm bead and cylinder chain to support the piece. There are two tube beads together on the chain. Probably sized in its lifetime like most of Mexican pieces were sized to fit the new owner. Collector quality, JUST LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
Ana Maria Brilanti was one of the first women of Taxco designers. She went by the name of Victoria. She was an accomplished designer and this dragonfly is certainly a testament to a masterpiece of repousse. The hand carving displays great depth and dimension as it is an insect like none other. The size is true to life at 3inches wide by 2.5 inches tall. I included a side "slice" photo for you to see it's thickness. The weight is 32 grams. This is a book piece selected by Penny Morril and it is worthy of selection. No damage and hallmarked correctly as shown.
