The 1930’s were a time of economic
hardship on the Indian reservations. Among the Pueblo silversmiths it became
popular to use pre-cut stones other than turquoise – petrified wood, agates,
and jaspers. Some of the smiths worked independently but most worked for the
shops or large producers such as Maisels in Albuquerque and Southwest Indian
Arts in Santa Fe. The new materials, along with improved tools and techniques
resulted in a blossoming of styles and innovation. Filigree work and tiny
raindrops, fleur-de-lis designs, and combinations of hard stones with turquoise
accents, all were introduced in the 1930’s. Today we recognize that silverwork
and attention to detail in these curio trade pieces are truly fine and
represent an important period in the history of Southwest silver. Please enjoy
our present selection.
