Salvador Teran Glass Mosaic & Brass Box

Description

Vintage Mexican handmade brass box by artist Salvador Teran (1920-1974), decorated with tessellated lapis blue glass mosaic tiles and inlay brass Aztec calendar medallion. The box has cylindrical brass feet and wood veneer lining. Teran (also known as Teran) was a founding member of Los Castillos Metalworks in Taxco, this box is credited to his time there (1939 to 1952). Many of Teran's pieces produced at Los Castillos were unmarked. The box is in good condition, with minor age and handmade imperfections, mostly due to the rustic nature of the piece. It's dated to the 1940s.
