About the Item

Margot de Taxco sterling silver crown brooch and earring set. The crown has a beautiful flowing swirl design. Marked: Margot de Taxco, 5129, sterling silver made in Mexico, with Margot's exclusive number 16 Eagle Mark. 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. Brooch measurement: 2" x 2" Earring measurement: 1" x .75" CONDITION: Good condition with hardware in good working condition, some tarnish and wear and tear consistent with age.
