Until not so long ago, brooches were an indispensable piece of jewellery: around 1950, no lady would have left the house without a brooch, because clothing was not complete without one. How and where the brooch was worn on clothing changed according to the respective fashions. In the years around 1900, the so-called "collar brooch" was popular. This example is one such collar brooch from the heyday of Art Nouveau, which the fashionable lady could wear on the collar of her high-necked society dress. The reddish gold piece is designed as an elegant composition with flowing lines, based on the floral Art Nouveau style as developed by the Nancy School. The surface of the brooch is polished and is set with a beautiful old-cut diamond of around 0.25 carats in an airy prong setting. The brooch was made around 1905. According to its design, it was probably created in Germany. A beautiful piece of jewelry typical of the period that found its way to us here in Berlin.

The years around 1900: luxury and pure joie de vivre had been elevated to the ideal of the first decades of the 20th century: The new forms of Art Nouveau enriched art and the decorative arts with decorative forms never seen before. Centers quickly emerged in Europe during these years, each taking a different approach to the new style. While in France the Nancy School led the way and floral motifs were transformed into spectacular new art forms, in Vienna the Wiener Werkstätte emerged with a stricter approach to ornamentation and created Gesamtkunstwerke that were to influence almost every area of human life.
