What does the “Ledesma Taxco” mark mean?
Enrique Ledesma trained in his father's Mexico City shop while studying painting and sculpture, then worked in Taxco for William Spratling, Hector Aguilar and Los Castillo. He opened his own Taxco workshop around 1950 and ran it until his death in 1979. If your piece is marked with the Ledesma name and Taxco, you are looking at his mid century modernist work. He is known for bold cufflinks, bracelets and brooches, often set with turquoise, tiger's eye or other stones in clean geometric settings.
