Gilt Brooch by Theodor Fahrner, Circa 1955

Fahrner jewellery from Pforzheim occupies a special place in the history of Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewellery. For Theodor Fahrner and later his successor Gustav Braendle knew better than almost any other modern jewellery manufacturer how to make artistically convincing designs and quality workmanship the hallmark of their brooches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The brooch is designed as an abstract construct. With eye-catching skill, various surface finishes were used to set the scene for this minimalist piece of jewellery. In addition to an interesting texturing, a smoothly polished mirror-like surface shines and leads over to small gold beads. The brooch is made of silver that has been lightly gilded. It was executed in the 1950s and speaks the design language of that era. The brooch came to us in a travelling salesman's sample case that had been slumbering untouched in an attic for the past 40+ years. The piece of jewelry of the 1950s presented here is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs can be found in the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. Discover all the other Fahrner jewellery we offer at this site.
