RARE
Pair of Los Castillo
Cabinet Handles

Each measures 3-5/8" high x 2-5/8" wide


The head of the fish, showing the inlaid 'eye' of silver and copper, surrounded by inlaid abalone shell.


The inner side of the fish's fin, inlaid in silver and copper. The outer side is inlaid in abalone shell.

Mid-century Marvel
Elegantly crafted as stylized fish, of brass, inlaid with silver, copper and abalone shell , these are two cabinet handles in Los Castillo's 'mixed metals' technique.


Die-stamped on the inner curve of each handle:
LOS CASTILLO
TAXCO
METALES
CASTILLO
HANDWROUGHT

The unusual form, unique styling and careful selection and cutting of the abalone shell suggest this was likely a special order from Los Castillo, one of the top metal shops in Mexico.

One of the four mounting rods is absent (as seen below), but can easily be replaced. With this exception, condition is excellent!


Back view showing three of four threaded mounting rods. The fourth is missing (as seen by the arrow), but can easily be braised on.

$ 195. M-684-L
