Fahrner jewellery from Pforzheim therefore occupies a special place in the history of Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewellery. For Theodor Fahrner and later his successor Gustav Braendle knew better than almost any other jewellery manufacturer of the modern era how to make artistically convincing designs and quality workmanship the hallmark of their brooches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The brooch features curved and asymmetrical shapes, meeting the contemporary taste of the 1950s, which valued asymmetries and curved designs. Fine texturing creates a dynamic link to the sweep of the design, alongside delicate piercing work. Dark sparkling marcasites add highlights and flow coherently across the design. The two panels in the center act almost like a highway, giving the brooch a fast-paced dynamic that will make any blazer a real head-turner! The brooch came to us in a travelling salesman's sample case that had been slumbering untouched in an attic for the past 40+ years. The 1950s piece here is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs can be found in the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
