These whimsical candlesticks feature a hammered base and a slender stem wrapped with a vine motif, accented with butterflies and leaves inlaid with crushed emerald stone—a hallmark of Castillo’s imaginative fusion of metalwork and natural materials.

Each candlestick retains the original Emilia Castillo hallmark to the underside, reading:
Emilia Castillo, Mexico M.R., TO-85, Plateado.

The pair exemplifies Castillo’s signature aesthetic: graceful movement, organic detailing, and playful storytelling rendered in metal. Their mixed-metal composition and emerald-inlaid elements make them ideal for adding a touch of artistry to sophisticated interiors—perfect for console tables, dining settings, bookshelves, or layered decorative vignettes.

About Emilia Castillo

A second-generation artist from the legendary Los Castillo silversmithing family, Emilia Castillo continues the tradition that helped define the mid-century and contemporary identity of Taxco as Mexico’s premier center for handcrafted silver and mixed-metal design. Her work is widely collected for its craftsmanship, botanical influences, and the incorporation of stones such as malachite, turquoise, jasper, and, as seen here, emerald.

Designers and collectors prize Castillo’s creations for their sculptural presence, artisanal quality, and distinctively Mexican modernist character.
