Margot de Taxco Cloisonne and Silver Grape Necklace

About the Item

Margot de Taxco silver and enamel yellow grape necklace. Made in Mexico with Margot de Taxco hallmark markings. Features a box clasp that is in good working condition. This is a striking and unique piece that is sure to turn heads. 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. Measures 15.5" x .75" and weighs 100 grams. CONDITION: Has expected surface scratches and wear. Has been lightly polished, but has some tarnish / soiling in deep grooves consistent with age.
