VINTAGE HENRYK WINOGRAD ART NOUVEAU REPOUSSE 999 SILVER CAMEO ART PENDANT

Description

HENRYK WINOGRAD, was one of the world's greatest 20th Century masters of traditional silversmithing techniques (he recently passed away in his 90s) and was the leading practitioner in America of the historic art of Repousse. He was born in Poland, of Russian parentage, from a lineage of silversmiths to the Czar. He   came to the United States in the 1970s.
Mr. Winograd used the art of repousse and each one of his pieces was designed by hammering pure silver sheets into crafted molds. Winograd rarely worked in sterling (which is only 92.5% pure), but preferred the purest form of silver available (99.9% pure silver).   The delicacy of the detail of his work is superb and the quality of his execution is breathtaking.
Each Winograd piece is unique and is signed and copywritten.  Each of his works of art is marked with the characteristic Winograd hallmark -- "HW999", which is a combination of his initials and the silver content of the work -- 99.9% silver (considered to be pure silver).
Winograd's silver works of art are getting harder and harder to find on the open market as they have been collected worldwide for over 60 years!    His work is always of museum quality and, in fact, his work graces many museums throughout the world.  His miniatures easily bring amounts exceeding 0.
