I am pleased to offer this attractive 940 silver pin by Hector Aguilar of Taxco, Mexico. 940 silver is purer than sterling and often used by the most admired silversmiths in Taxco including William Spratling and Aguilar. The design is very sinuous, almost in an Art Nouveau style, and closing with a well working safety clasp. A wonderful pin and a classic design, immediately recognizable as Hector Aguilar.
Hector Aguilar began working for William Spratling in 1936 before opening his own workshop in 1939. Aguilar had many, many well known craftsmen working for him during the years and he was also involved in many innovative Taxco ventures. Penny Morrill has dedicated a whole book to Aguilar and the Taller Borda called Silver Masters of Mexico. Aguilar\'s work is highly desired.
