Art Nouveau Brooch with Window Enamel and Tourmalines in 900/- Silver
The company was founded by Andreas Odenwald in 1882 as Kiehnle & Odenwald in Pforzheim. Many of the jewellery pieces created after 1900 suggest a stylistic connection to the Mathildenhöhe artists' colony in Darmstadt. Patriz Huber and Joseph Maria Olbrich were among the designers. The colour gradient from green to a delicate red was one of A. Odenwald's trademarks. The high quality of the enamel work comes across particularly well in this brooch, which was additionally decorated with two deep red garnet stones. The delicate design and the fine silver work was created around 1905. A particularly beautiful piece of jewellery from the Art Nouveau period. With a pin catch on the back. Excellent condition, worth collecting!
