Sublime Art Nouveau Brooch, Falk Brothers, Pforzheim, Circa 1900
Discover a pearl of Art Nouveau, an enchanting brooch crafted with the highest artistry. This exquisite piece was made around 1900 in the renowned jewellery factory of the Falk brothers in Pforzheim. Pforzheim, often referred to as the 'Gold City', was the centre of the German jewellery and watchmaking industry during the Belle Époque.
The brooch is made of 800 silver, which is known for its fineness and durability. Its transverse oval shape and the arched design of the rim emphasise the unique style of Art Nouveau. The rich design with floral relief, which includes roses, lilies of the valley and daffodils, gives it a distinctly natural and at the same time romantic appearance, which is expressed through detailed craftsmanship and artistic charm.
In the centre of the brooch is a hammered field that houses a small, round garnet stone in a bezel setting. This magnificent brooch stands out not only for its craftsmanship, but also for the unique presentation of this central gemstone, which adds a prominent yet elegant colouring.
On the back, the brooch has a functional brooch and a safety chain with safety pin, making it both practical and beautiful. The mark confirms its origin and authenticity, and the excellent craftsmanship is evident in every detail.
This brooch is not just a piece of jewellery, but an authentic work of art that perfectly captures the spirit and aesthetics of Art Nouveau. Referenced in 'Art Nouveau Jewellery by Fritz Falk', with similar illustration on page 177, this brooch is a coveted collector's item for lovers of Art Nouveau and fine jewellery.
Acquire this piece and add an exceptional item to your collection that combines history, craftsmanship and artistic vision. The Falk Brothers brooch is a prime example of the elegance and complexity of Art Nouveau and a chance to own a part of this rich heritage.
