Tribal Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass

A striking and highly collectible Pre-Hispanic–style necklace designed and manufactured in Mexico in the 1950s by the renowned workshop Metales Casados. Crafted in a sophisticated blend of copper, brass, and silver accents, the pendant features a dynamic figural motif inspired by ancient Mesoamerican iconography, enriched with shimmering crushed emerald inlay. The handcrafted chain showcases bold geometric links characteristic of mid-century Mexican design, while the large pendant combines layered metals and stone inlay with remarkable precision. The piece embodies the signature style of Metales Casados, known for their fusion of contrasting metals (“metals married together”) and their deep appreciation for Indigenous aesthetics. The necklace retains its full hallmark: “Metales Casados, Hecho en México.” A superb addition for collectors of Mexican modernist jewelry...

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.
