Known for elevating the legacy of Los Castillo and the Taxco design movement, Emilia Castillo’s work combines sculptural form with refined metalwork and luxurious materials.

This elegant tray is constructed from solid brass with a hand-hammered surface and a silver plated finish, creating a rich texture that captures and reflects light beautifully. The oval form is complemented by minimalist integrated handles featuring black stone inlay, adding contrast and a distinctly modern sculptural detail.

The hammered finish gives the piece a soft organic shimmer, making it ideal for use as a cocktail tray, bar accessory, decorative centerpiece, or coffee table object in sophisticated interiors.

Perfect for coastal modern, contemporary, Mexican modern, and Palm Beach inspired interiors, this tray functions both as a practical serving piece and as a refined decorative object.

The underside retains the original hallmark:

“Emilia Castillo – Mexico – M.R. – TO-85 – Plateado.”

Collectors and interior designers value Emilia Castillo pieces for their connection to the historic Taxco silver tradition, where artisans have produced some of the most important decorative metalwork of the 20th century.
