Per Se has acquired a notable collection including a silver, bronze, copper and brass Los Castillo Tray, a Curtis Jere Raindrop Sculpture, and decorative salt and pepper shakers by Jens Quistgaard.

Taxco is renowned in Mexico for its silver. As a result there is a great lineage of artisans creating jewelry and other silver crafts. The Castillo brothers are among them during the mid twentieth century. They mastered the very difficult skill of forging several different metals together, creating distinctive, collectible objects.

Curtis Jere, or C. Jere, signed works are by a collaboration of artists for the company Artisan House. These decorative wall sculptures are meant to elevate the everyday room to the level of art. The original “Raindrops” compositions are intricate metal works that are now highly sought after collectors’ items.

Jens Quistgaard was a Danish sculptor and designer known for his work for Dansk Designs. He became famous for designing kitchenware and tableware that became synonymous with the Scandinavian Modern style. He worked across several media from wooden salt and pepper shakers to iron and brass candleholders.
