Frank Rebajes Attributed 1950's Modernist Copper Maple Leaf Shadowbox Necklace Clip-on Earrings Demi-Parure Set

$128.00

Materials and Features:

  • Artisan Shadowbox Architecture: A bold, high-relief "Shadowbox" pendant featuring two detailed maple leaves set against a recessed, darkened copper ground. This intricate, labor-intensive technique defines mid-century studio craftsmanship and is a primary identifier for Rebajes attribution.

  • Sculptural Botanical Motifs: The matching earrings and pendant leaves showcase intricate veining and stylized organic silhouettes. This nature-inspired aesthetic was a core signature of the elite Greenwich Village artisan circle during the 1950's.

  • Heavy-Gauge Copper Metallurgy: Crafted with a substantial 42g weight and hand-finished edges, offering the solid feel and durability expected of upscale boutique copper lines from the New York Modernist movement.

  • Mechanical Studio Integrity: The pendant is suspended from a classic heavy-weight curb chain with a secure fold-over clasp, paired with high-tension clip-on findings on the earrings for a tailored and reliable fit.

Age/Origin: 1950's / USA (New York Studio Era)

Marks: Unsigned (Attributed to Frank Rebajes based on documented construction and motif)

Measurements:

  • Weight: 42g (Confirmed "Substantial" metallurgical density)

  • Dimensions: Pendant approx. 2.25 Inches in diameter; Earrings approx. 1 Inch; Chain approx. 18 Inches.

Condition: Excellent Vintage Condition. The copper glows with a warm, authentic patina and shows only the light surface wear expected of a well-preserved archival set. The signature "shadow" contrast in the recessed areas remains deep and crisp.
