This special auction honors Mexican Independence Day by showcasing the timeless artistry of Mexico’s most iconic design legacy—Taxco silverwork and the visionary creations of Emilia Castillo. Renowned for her bold use of inlaid stones and sculptural forms, Castillo transformed functional objects into collectible art. Each piece—marked “Los Castillo / Taxco / Mexico??—embodies the soul of Mexican modernism, blending tradition, innovation, and nature-inspired elegance. Highlights include silver-plated tea and coffee vessels with toucan-form handles inlaid with jasper, onyx, and brass, as well as hammered trays, vases, pitchers, and candlesticks. The craftsmanship reflects the legacy of Taxco, Mexico’s silversmithing capital, where generations of artisans have elevated everyday forms into objects of enduring beauty. Perfect for interior designers and collectors, these works bring authenticity, heritage, and style to any space. Whether displayed in a curated shelf or used as functional decor, these pieces represent the artistic pulse of Mexico—celebrated worldwide. Join us in paying tribute to Mexican artisanship, where each object tells a story of cultural pride and creative excellence.
