Alfredo Villasana Taxco Mexican Sterling Silver 3-D Rose 4.2 ozt 10 1/2" (#9383)

Taxco



Exceptional vintage Mexican sterling silver three-dimensional sculptural rose by Alfredo Villasana of Taxco, Mexico, circa mid-20th century. It is beautifully handcrafted with intricately formed petals and a graceful, lifelike stem.

Alfredo Villasana was a talented Mexican silversmith who worked under two legendary masters of Mexican silver design, William Spratling and Héctor Aguilar, before establishing his own workshop in the 1950s. Both Spratling and Aguilar were instrumental in transforming Taxco into an internationally renowned center for fine silver craftsmanship. Villasana's work reflects this important tradition of artistic design and skilled silversmithing.

Measures 10 1/2" long and weighs 4.2 troy ounces.

The silver has developed a natural patina and has been left unpolished for the buyer to polish to their personal preference. In very good vintage condition.

A beautiful and collectible example of mid-century Mexican sterling silver artistry.
