Great biomorphic pin by mid-twentieth century jeweler Herman Roth; approximately 3-1/2" x 1-1/2"; marked: "HERMAN ROTH, LARCHMONT. N.Y., HANDMADE, STERLING," and conjoined "HR;" light surface wear, otherwise fine condition. Herman Roth studied at the Crafts Students League and the Museum of Modern Art. He was an instructor in art metal at the 92nd Street "Y" in New York and worked in many metals, especially sterling silver. He used ivory, ebony and enamels to accentuate his designs and showed a silver and wood shuttle pin in the Walker Art Center's Contemporary Jewelry Exhibit on Paper, issue #33, Design Quarterly, 1955. (taken from my book, Modernist Jewelry, 1930 - 1960, The Wearable Art Movement, page 172.) $350.00 (item #M0285) |
