拍品专文

In 1937, Hector Aguilar was hired by silver designer William Spratling to manage his workshop in Taxco. In 1939, Aguilar and his wife went into business for themselves and opened the Taller Borda, a shop that sold a variety of jewelry, hollowware and flatware in Aguilar's distinctively abstract style. Taller Borda, which at one time had over 300 employees, closed in 1962.
