Taxco Los Castillo Mixed Metal Fish Brooch in Sterling Silver
This whimsical Los Castillo fish brooch is a striking example of the married metal technique, an intricate process requiring exceptional craftsmanship. Los Castillo was a leader in this artistry, as demonstrated by the seamless blending of silver, copper, and brass in this piece. This mid-century Taxco brooch is featured in Silver Masters of Mexico by Penny Morrill (Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 1996, p.172). The dynamic design, expert metalwork, and playful details make this a standout addition to any vintage Mexican silver jewelry collection.
