A specialty of Biedermeier goldsmiths was the so-called foam gold. These were pieces of jewelry made of thinly rolled gold sheet, usually hollow. This made it possible to produce large, voluminous surfaces, as the years around 1840/50 demanded in terms of taste, without having to use too much of the expensive gold. The brooch here is an example of jewellery made using this technique. It presents a reclining flower in a voluminous wavy frame. The petals are accented with white enamel and in the base of the flower shines a garnet pearl in deep red. However, the brooch was not created in the early 19th century, but in the 1870s, when Biedermeier taste was newly fashionable. Immediately after its creation, it was imported to the then kuk monarchy, as the hallmark on the C hook reveals, which was used in this form only between 1872 and 1902. To us found the beautiful piece of jewelry here in Berlin. A piece of jewelry history for many occasions, which has lost nothing of its beauty to this day.
