About the Item

Margot de Taxco bracelet and brooch set with enamel c. 1955. The piece is called the "Gathered Swirls" design. The pattern features looped ribbons in black opaque enamel, turquoise blue champleve enamel, and royal blue champleve enamel. The ribbons are grouped by a gold champleve enamel tie which is highlighted by bright orange enamel "dots". Design number "5651". The bracelet has a box clasp. Margot van Voorhies moved to Mexico in 1937. She eventually found her way to Taxco, at the time a center for artists and bon vivants. It was in Taxco,that she met and married Antonio Castillo. In 1939, Antonio established his own workshop, “Los Castillo” with Margot as principal designer, along with Jorge “Chato” Castillo and Salvador Teran. Antonio and Margot were married for 10 years. When they divorced, Margot became Margot de Taxco. She opened her own workshop in 1948. Her work remains unique – influenced by her interest in Art Deco, Mayan and Japanese motifs and her work with enamel on silver. She insisted on meticulous production techniques. After much success in the 50s and into the 60s, a catastrophic fire at her workshop and problems with satisfying her obligations with union contracts, she went bankrupt. The government stepped in and sold her business to pay her workers. She ended up giving the “dies” of her designs to her silversmiths as payment. Bracelet measurement: 8" Brooch measurement: 2.5" x 1.25" CONDITION: Good condition, enamel and hardware are in good working condition. Some tarnish, and scratches that are consistent with age.
