Antique Art Nouveau Brooch with Diamonds in Gold & Platinum, c. 1910

This brooch captivates with its stylized natural form and luxurious materials. We see a stylized branch with a graceful curve, from which a bunch of fruit seems to grow. Three historically cut diamonds weighing around half a carat are set at the ends of the delicate tendril and on the entwined stem. The sweeping lines of the brooch form a calligraphic shape. The brooch is made of platinum on gold, typical of the period. The enchanting brooch combines many elements that are typical of the Art Nouveau style of the early years after the turn of the century: We see wonderfully rhythmic lines, playful asymmetry and stylized natural forms. The piece was created in the years c. 1910, and for comparison we have reproduced a page from the 1913/14 season catalog of the Baden court purveyor F. Todt from Pforzheim, in which very similar designs can be found. With the end of the German Empire, this design language disappeared and made way for the modernity of Art Deco. This fine Art Nouveau object came to us here in Berlin.
