At first glance, this handsome iguana looks like he wandered in from the solarium and made himself at home on the sideboard. But closer inspection reveals his party trick: his silver-lined mouth is, in fact, a bottle opener. Crafted by the legendary Los Castillo workshop of Taxco, Mexico, he slinks across the table in honeycomb scales and a spiky crest, every joint hinged so he can curl, twist, and pose as dramatically as your guests.

He’s more than décor — he’s the lizard who liberates libations, the reptile who rescues refreshments, the guardian of gin and tonic. Place him by the bar cart and let him bare his teeth when the next bottle needs opening. After all, not every estate can boast a dragon that doubles as a butler.

Founded in 1939, the Los Castillo workshop of Taxco, Mexico, became internationally known for inventive silverwork that combined artistry with function. From articulated fish to fantastical creatures, their pieces remain highly collectible. This iguana — jointed, honeycombed, and equipped with a bottle-opening mouth — is both a mid-century silver masterpiece and a whimsical reminder that even the bar cart deserves its own guardian.
