About the Item
Magnificent sterling silver cuff bracelet designed and handcrafted by Antonio Castillo for Los Castillo, circa 1950s, in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico. This exquisite piece exemplifies the renowned Mosaico Azteca line, a signature design language of Los Castillo that revived pre-Columbian mosaic artistry through modern silversmithing.
The bracelet features an elegant undulating scroll motif inlaid with a mosaic of azurite and lapis lazuli, capturing deep blues and verdant greens reminiscent of Mexico’s natural landscape and ancient artistic heritage. Stamped “Los Castillo, Taxco, Sterling, Made in Mexico, Mosaico Azteca, 147”, this work exemplifies the studio’s commitment to technical mastery and cultural preservation.
Antonio Castillo (1911–2000), a former apprentice of William Spratling, went on to become one of the foremost figures in Mexican modernist metalwork. After co-founding Los Castillo in 1939 with his brothers, he developed a distinctive style that blended indigenous materials—such as turquoise, onyx, abalone, and lapis—with sterling silver forms rooted in modern design. The workshop’s influence defined 20th-century Taxco silversmithing, inspiring an entire generation of artisans.
Today, Antonio’s daughter Emilia Castillo continues this creative legacy from Taxco, designing contemporary silver pieces that reinterpret her father’s visionary approach to nature, form, and tradition.
