Immerse yourself in the era of Art Nouveau, a time when art and craftsmanship merged in perfect harmony. This exquisitely crafted brooch, probably from the German jewellery town of Pforzheim, is a testimony to exceptional craftsmanship that is still unrivalled today.
The brooch captivates with its soft contours and the richly openworked, round body, which captures symmetry and nature in one breath. Playful roses and delicate leaves caress the centrepiece of this work of art: a highly oval lapis lazuli cabochon. This gemstone, set in a precise bezel setting, lends the brooch not only a touch of colour, but also a deep, almost mystical allure.
Made between 1910 and 1920, this piece represents an era when jewellery was seen not just as an accessory, but as an expression of individuality and artistic vision. The use of 800 silver emphasises the quality and value of the brooch, which remains unmarked and yet impresses with its excellent workmanship and original condition. A light patina lends it an authentic character and bears witness to its history and age.
Possibly created in the renowned workshop of Theodor Fahrner, this brooch reflects the spirit of its time and symbolises the elegance and innovative spirit of Art Nouveau. A piece of jewellery that is not only admired, but also treasured as a precious heirloom.
