Item Details
Salvador de la Serna was a distinguished silversmithing house based in Mexico City that played a key role in the mid-century flourishing of Mexican silver. Specializing in sterling hollowware rather than jewelry, the firm became known for its heavy, masterfully crafted tea services, pitchers, and serving dishes that blended traditional craftsmanship with sleek, Modernist silhouettes. Pieces bearing the ‘S. de la Serna’ hallmark are highly regarded by collectors for their exceptional weight and refined, sculptural details. By focusing on functional luxury, the workshop helped define the sophisticated, cosmopolitan aesthetic of Mexican silver during its 20th-century golden age.
