Robert Larin Brutalist pendant necklace; of gold tone with long chain measuring approximately 24"; pendant length of 4". Robert Larin was creating pewter jewelry as early as 1968 based in Montreal, PQ and selling across Canada. Born in Montreal, he was in his mid 20's in the late 60's and had a factory on rue Papineau. Here he employed approximately 25 workers most of whom were deaf, which worked perfectly in a noisy shop where communication even between those who could hear, had to be in sign language. Most of Larin's production jewelry was made of pewter, which was cast by the lost wax process and then filed by hand to remove the rough surfaces left by the casting. The piece was then oxidized or plated with silver or gold and then, finally polished. His style defies generalization; the designs range from totally organic forms to the architecturally designed elements inherent in his bracelets. Not only were the shapes and dimensional forms of his jewelry unique, the surface textures that he employed were known to be "amazing", but was mostly known as "modernly eclectic".
Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.
