全部拍賣 / Jewelry & Gems / Funny Brooch by Theodor Fahrner With Pearl & Marcasites, Pforzheim ca. 1955


Theodor Fahrner made artists' jewellery affordable because he combined modern forms with democratic materials. He did not create individual pieces for a small elite, as was the case with Lalique or Cartier, but rather the designs were produced in series in silver, decorated with enamel, marcasites and occasionally precious stones. Jewellers and department stores all over Europe sold the jewellery, which Fahrner advertised extensively in journals and magazines: "Fahrner jewellery - designed by the best artists" allowed every woman to participate in a modern life full of beauty. Every year, travelling salesmen with large sample cases presented the new designs developed in Pforzheim to local jewellers. 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 almost all series from about 1919 until the company's dissolution in 1979, most of them with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The present brooch is therefore also unworn and perfectly preserved. The brooch shows a witty scarf shape with a pearl and marcasites in the middle and thus meets the taste of the time in the 1950s, which appreciated asymmetries and curved designs. Small fringes enhance the impression of flowing textile while fine texturing creates a pattern that looks like knitting. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs is provided by the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. The brooch is made of silver that has been lightly gilded. This kind of gilding is called "antique gilding" by Fahrner. It has a cool, slightly greenish-gold tone, by which Fahrner jewellery can be easily identified. The brooch was made in the 1950s and is a wonderful vintage piece that has survived unworn until now. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
