About the Item

Charming and sculptural desk organizer designed by renowned Taxco silversmith Emilia Castillo, handcrafted in silver plate and accented with natural malachite frog figures perched atop stylized lily pads. This whimsical yet sophisticated tabletop object features a sinuous wave-edged tray base and vertical spiral dividers, designed to elegantly organize letters, envelopes, stationery, or documents. The playful malachite frogs introduce vibrant color and sculptural character, embodying Castillo’s signature ability to merge functional design with nature-inspired Mexican artistry. Produced in Taxco, Mexico, a region internationally celebrated for its tradition of modernist silverwork, this piece reflects the distinctive aesthetic of Emilia Castillo’s studio—combining sculptural forms, organic motifs, and luxurious materials. Ideal for a desk, home office, library, or entry console, this collectible accessory works beautifully within Mexican modern, Hollywood Regency, contemporary, or eclectic interiors. Pieces by Emilia Castillo remain highly sought after by collectors of Taxco silver and interior designers looking for unique decorative accents with artistic provenance. The piece is fully hallmarked and hand-signed “Emilia Castillo” on the base, confirming authenticity. Measurements Width: 8.75 in. Depth: 5.75 in. Height: 3 in.
