{"title":"Antonio Pineda","description":"\u003cp\u003e(1909 - 2009) The highly innovative and accomplished Antonio Pineda (Gomez) started at William Spratling's Taller de Las Delicias. He was very much influenced by his early training in painting and sculpture, and by designer-artist Valentin Vidaurreta, with whom he once worked in Vidaurreta's Mexico City Shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePineda opened his own successful establishment, \"Antonio\", in 1941. At one time, Antonio's taller employed more than 80 silversmiths, plus their assistants, and Pineda was creating 10 new designs each month. Much of Antonio's work is executed in 970 silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe famous Antonio crown changes slightly in shape and size and relative size depending on it;s application and age. Like all the large tallers in Taxco in the late 1950's, Pineda faced financial pressure due to labor unrest and government taxation relating to worker welfare demands. He, like other workshop owners with large workforces, has reduced in-house staff and relied increasingly on farming out work to silversmiths working from their homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis practice led to a number of marks appearing on pieces also stamped with Antonio marks. The majority of these silversmiths' co-stamped pieces date after Antonio sold the taller to his brother, Herlindo Pineda, in 1964. Subsequent to the sale, Antonio continued to design and work with silversmiths.
