Description

Theodor Fahrner made artists' jewellery affordable by combining modern forms with democratic materials. He did not create individual pieces for a small elite like Lalique or Cartier, but the designs were mass-produced in silver, decorated with enamel, marcasites and occasionally precious stones. Jewellers and department stores throughout Europe sold the jewellery, which Fahrner advertised extensively in journals and magazines: "Fahrner jewellery - based on designs 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 products 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 every series from about 1919 until the company's dissolution in 1979, most with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The brooch here is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. The brooch is designed as a frame, divided into four triangles, each decorated with a trifoliate leaf. Each leaf has a stem decorated with six marcasite roses. The entire surface is covered with a fine vermicellidecor, which was used on Fahrner jewellery as early as the 1930s. The brooch is made of silver, which has been lightly gilded. It was executed in the 1950s, as it speaks the formal language of that era. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
