Vintage Brooch by Theodor Fahrner With Marcasites, Around 1955

"The beauty of dress is enhanced to an extraordinary degree by the distinctive effect of Fahrner jewellery. No lady of taste will want to do without it in the future." (From a brochure of the Theodor Fahrner company from the 1920s) Every year, travelling salesmen with large sample cases presented the new products developed in Pforzheim to local jewellers. One such sample case full of unworn Fahrner jewellery has lain untouched in an attic for the last 40 years or more until it was offered to us. It contained samples of almost all series from about 1919 until the company's dissolution in 1979, most of them with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The present brooch is therefore also unworn and perfectly preserved. The brooch is in the shape of a curved leaf on a small stem. The leaf is bordered by two bands with hatched ornaments. Markasites occupy the left band. Twisted wires fill the area between the two bands, creating a beautiful play of light and shadow. The brooch is made of silver that has been lightly gilded. It was probably made in the 1950s, as it reflects the design language of that era. The Fahrner label with the old order number has been preserved on the brooch. 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. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
