The firm Claudia & Julio

 

 

We create breathtaking beautiful home furnishings and decorative accents handcrafted in Silver and Copper by award-winning master silversmiths to adorn elegant hotels, public spaces, and the homes of discerning customers. Our works of art are inspired by the finest tradition of Mexican artists throughout the ages, and combine traditional design elements, materials, and motifs with contemporary styling and trends to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces which will form the focal point of any room.

Two classically-trained artists and designers, Claudia and Julio Michel, founders of C&J, design, forge, create and polish awe-inspiring works of art crafted from .999 fine silver, burnished copper, and polished cedarwood, to create amazing masterworks which have won national design awards of the highest levels.

Our workshop in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico, houses a skilled team of artists, silversmiths, woodworkers, and other craftsmen who bring more than 180 years of experience to creating collectors’ pieces which are in demand by museums, hotels, and art lovers throughout North America. Each numbered piece comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist which provides enduring value to the collector. The main products offered include: Handcrafted silver and copper mirrors ranging from 2 to 6’ tall, picture and photo frames, ornamental crosses, occasional tables, chests, home furnishings, and decorative accessories made of hand-crafted silver and burnished copper, with polished cedarwood bases on occasion. We are launching direct sales in the United States, bringing this line of fine hand-crafted works of art to upscale retail furniture stores and designer furniture and accessory showrooms throughout the United States.
