Delicate Vintage Brooch by Theodor Fahrner With Pearl, ca. 1955

"The beauty of clothing 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 company Theodor Fahrner from the 1920s) In the history of Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewellery, Fahrner jewellery from Pforzheim occupies a special place. For Theodor Fahrner and later his successor Gustav Braendle knew better than almost any other jewellery manufacturer of the modern era how to make artistically convincing designs and quality workmanship the hallmark of their brooches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Salesmen with large sample cases presented the new designs developed in Pforzheim to local jewellers every year. One such sample case full of unworn Fahrner jewellery had lain untouched in an attic for the last 40 years or more until it was offered to us. It contained samples of nearly every series from about 1919 until the company's dissolution in 1979, most marked with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The brooch here comes from this collection and is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. Dating from around 1955, the brooch appears as a light and delicate structure made of gilded silver with a cultured pearl in the center. Four twisted rods form a ribbon, on the end of which three marcasites glitter. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs is given in the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition," edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
