Rare Pueblo Turquoise Bracelet Available at Saks Galleries Cherry Creek Denver



Oldest Fine Art Gallery in Colorado
The story of Southwestern Indian jewelry is a study of evolving techniques. Talking about a bracelet that recently came our way might be a good introduction to the subject.

Pueblo, 1930's, Turquoise and Hand Pulled Twisted Square Wire Foundation Bracelet
This bracelet was made circa 1930 and although the arrangement of the stones might lead some to think it is Navajo in origin, with a large central stone flanked by two smaller turquoise, that is probably not correct. The ornate scrollwork gives this a Pueblo origin, likely Isleta. The cushion-shaped turquoise are a natural Nevada web and hand cut. But the most interesting feature of this beautifully made bracelet is the foundation. There are three square wires, the outside two being twisted to simulate rope work. These square wires were handmade by drawing ingot silver (usually melted from coins) through a drawplate made of metal or bone. You can see the plier marks and imperfections on the middle wire. This technique died out in the 1930’s, which means that this bracelet was made by a smith of the old school. The delicate scrollwork on the top of the bracelet is highly unusual in that it too is made of hand-pulled square wire. The smith who made this piece took great pride in his work and the terminals are beautifully and carefully finished as well.                                        
$2,000  

Pueblo, 1930's, Turquoise and Hand Pulled Twisted Square Wire Foundation Bracelet

Join Us
Sallie K. Smith "Colorado Morning" 30 x 40 oil

Sallie K. Smith "Moraine Park Autumn" 36 x 48 oil

Though Sallie K. Smith paints other subjects, she prefers landscapes, and enjoys letting the work speak for her. The gentle yet vibrant images she depicts are inspired by her favorite vistas and her focus is exclusively Colorado. "Nature, to me, is so perfect in every detail; it gives me peace and, at the same time, is exhilarating. I am trying to capture that ethereal sensibility in my work, knowing that these moments of solitude are often fleeting. It is my hope that people can glimpse into my scenic travels and likewise be carried away with the work."

>>  For More on Sallie K. Smith Use this Quick Link <<The American Art Invitational exhibition at Saks Galleries offers several miniatures of Sallie K. Smith.  Please join us for an afternoon with the artist.  Sallie is represented by Saks Galleries Denver, Colorado.

More Charles Partridge Adams and the Reception

Saks Galleries Cherry Creek
presents

Charles Partridge Adams
1858 - 1942
Exhibition and Sale
Now through December 31, 2012

Noted author and CP Adams historian Steve Andreas 
spoke to a full house at Saks Galleries Cherry Creek this past Saturday.  The rare selling event and exhibition presented by Saks Galleries coincides with the upcoming Denver Art Museum exhibition "Rocky Mountain Majesty" opening next month.


Noted author Steve Andreas speaking at Saks Galleries
Patrons at the C P Adams Exhibition 
Andreas explaining the execution of Adams Works
Twenty rare and beautifully painted landscapes of the Rockies and California painted by C P Adams are presented in this exhibition. A few paintings remain available for acquisition. 

Charles Partridge Adams moved to Denver from Massachusetts in 1876 at the age of 18. A year later he began working at the Chain and Hardy bookstore, where he received encouragement for his artistic interests from Helen Henderson Chain, who had been a pupil of the noted artist, George Inness. A three-month camping trip in the Rockies with another young artist in 1881 resulted in numerous sketches and paintings. In 1885 he traveled to the east coast, and visited the studios of George Inness and Worthington Whittredge, and the following year he visited the California studios of William Keith and Thomas Hill. Though not isolated from other artists, Adams was largely self-taught, experimenting with different styles and techniques, continuing to use those that best served his vision and his subject matter.

Visit Saks Galleries in Cherry Creek and enjoy the works of Charles Partridge Adams.
