Pair of Earrings by Harry Bertoia, c. 1940-42
3.5" x 1.75"
Cut and shaped, hand hammered .999 silver with copper patina on stem. Written by Celia Bertoia - Harry's daughter and director of the Harry Bertoia Foundation: "Bertoia did not make many earrings, so these are rather rare. Due to high meta demands of war, scarcity of metal forced Bertoia to sometimes recycle silverware and other flea market metal ware. Miscellaneous letters and the .999 on the backside of the stems are evidence of prior usage. The shaped petals move freely. The hooks are attached with a handmade spiral. The stems have the characteristic Bertoia paddle shape."
