Striking pair of Emilia Castillo Taxco candle holders, an exceptional example of Mexican Modern design and Taxco silverwork, showcasing the signature organic aesthetic that defines Emilia Castillo Mexican Modernism.
This highly decorative pair of Emilia Castillo candle holders embodies the essence of Taxco Mexican silver design, blending silver plate, enamel accents, and sculptural butterfly motifs into a refined yet whimsical composition. The undulating wirework, hand-formed in classic Taxco silversmith tradition, is accented by delicate green enamel leaves and dimensional butterflies—hallmarks of Emilia Castillo’s iconic Mexican Modern style.
Designed and handcrafted in Taxco, Mexico, the historic center of Mexican silversmithing, these candle holders reflect the legacy of the Castillo family, one of the most influential names in Mexican Modern silver. As the daughter of master silversmith Antonio Castillo of Los Castillo Taxco, Emilia Castillo is celebrated for advancing Mexican Modernism through organic, nature-inspired forms and sculptural metalwork.
The composition is both functional and sculptural—ideal for tall taper candles—making this pair a standout addition for collectors of Emilia Castillo Taxco, Mexican Modern silver, and Taxco decorative arts.
