## About Antonio Pineda

Antonio Pineda (1919–2009), also identified as Antonio Pineda Gómez, was a Mexican silversmith and designer associated with Taxco's twentieth-century revival of Mexican silver design. Collectors encounter his name in connection with modernist jewelry, hollowware, and tableware. The available biographical account places him among the leading figures of the Taxco workshops and connects his practice with wider currents in Mexican modernism. His work therefore sits at the intersection of studio craft, wearable design, and decorative arts rather than within a single fine-art category. Institutional recognition included the 2008–09 Fowler Museum at UCLA retrospective Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda, accompanied by a scholarly catalogue. The full name, documented lifespan, Mexican identity, Taxco context, and silver-design practice are useful identifiers because unrelated historical figures also carried the name Antonio Pineda.

## Common works and media

Documented work types include modernist silver jewelry, hollowware, and tableware. These categories span wearable objects and functional decorative arts associated with the Taxco silver-design tradition. The collected sources do not identify specific named series, editions, subjects, or individual models.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by determining whether an object is jewelry, hollowware, or tableware and whether its material and design align with Pineda's documented silver and Taxco modernist practice. This source pack does not provide lot-level descriptions, maker-mark guidance, edition information, condition reports, provenance, or realized-price comparisons, so it cannot support a price forecast or detailed hierarchy of value. Those questions require inspection of the object and comparison with well-described public sales of the same work type. Appraisily reports auction coverage under this artist name, but the collected public-page response was rate-limited. Market conclusions should therefore be checked against accessible sale records, sale dates, realized prices, and genuinely comparable lots.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity and market evidence should be reviewed separately when source coverage is limited.
