He met Spratling almost by chance while bringing a load of tourists to Taxco from Mexico City in the 1930s. Aguilar was one of Spratling’s best pupils, who often worked with close-to-pure silver (rated at 980 instead of the 925 of sterling silver on the silver scale). Aguilar was also a great businessman who only stayed at Spratling’s workshop for three years before finding investors for his own workshop, Taller Borda. See less
