Welcome to my channel! Today, I would like to share some items from my collection of silver from Taxco, Mexico by master silversmith Hector Aguilar.
Hector Aguilar (Mexican, 1905-1986) worked as the manager at William Spratling's Taller de Las Delicias in 1936. Three years later, Aguilar opened his own workshop, and in 1948 opened the Taller Borda, which quickly became one of the premier retail silver outlets in Taxco. Taller Borda sold a full line of high quality sterling jewelry, hollowware, flatware, and novelties produced at the Aguilar workshops. The firm prospered for many years until its closure in 1966. In 1943, Aguilar entered into a contract with the New York jewelry firm Coro, for whom he designed and manufactured items bearing the Coro name. The business arrangement ceased in 1950.
