Did you know that asymmetrical brooches are typical of post-war jewellery? Because only then prevailed that way of wearing brooches, as we know them best today: On the side under the shoulder, on a jacket or dress. Before that brooches were often symmetrical, because they were designed to be worn in the center of the corsage or on the collar of a blouse. This brooch from Fahrner dates from that era. It is made of gilded silver in the form of a curved flower with an abstract leaf and stem. The different surface finishes as well as the marcasite trimming gives the piece of jewellery a little something special. Fahrner made artists' jewellery affordable as the company combined modern forms with democratic materials. Salesmen with large sample cases presented the novelties developed in Pforzheim to local retailers every year. One such sample case full of unworn Fahrner jewellery has lain untouched in an attic for the last 40+ years 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. Fahrner jewellery is often collected. Discover all the other pieces of Fahrner jewellery we offer at this location.
