Hector Aguilar's jewelry carries the imprint of the Taller Borda, the Taxco workshop he founded after his years with William Spratling. A peacock pin belongs to the figurative side of that output, the wearable work that rendered Mexican design sensibility in sterling at a scale meant for daily adornment rather than display.
As a pin worked in silver, the piece reflects Aguilar's clean, confidently modeled handling, the house style that ran across the Taller Borda's production between 1939 and 1962.
