Matilde Poulat Matl Mexican Deco silver, coral and turquoise Bracelet

A classic early Matilde Poulat Mexican silver bracelet, its textured sterling wire-work adorned with beading and coral and turquoise cabochons, this piece was made in the 1934-48 period of Matl's creative life as is indicated by its hallmarks. Part of her "flat" as opposed to "repousse" jewelry, the bracelet is perfectly articulated and responds to the wrist's every move in a effortless, gracious way. Its "solid" construction bestows a welcome weight to it that feels warmly familiar when you have it on. Dark patina lends dramatic presence to the hand-wrought links which is then brightened by the intense reds of the coral and the soothing blues and greens of the wonderfully aged turquoise...

Size / Weight: 7 1/4” long (wearable) by 1 5/8” wide; 77.7 grams

Hallmarks / Date: marked twice as shown with a combination of hallmarks that Poulat used in the 1934-48 period

Condition: excellent vintage with beautiful patina in the silver-work and strong, pleasant color in the stones; all cabs are present and securely set in their bezels / channels and there is no damage or any repairs noted; in the photos (thanks to the macro lens) you can see some old cleaning liquid residue which has turned green over the years - this can easily be polished out, if you wish, but it is not readily visible with a naked eye and does not affect presentation at all when you have the bracelet on
