A silver pansy serves as the motif for this brooch. The five gently curved petals are sculpted in relief and feature a finely hammered surface, whose lively play of light underscores the flower’s natural character. The warm red hue of a garnet at the center of the flower creates a charming contrast to the cool luster of the silver. In the 19th century, the pansy was a particularly popular flower in the symbolic language of flowers. Its meaning derives from the French word pensée, which refers to both the pansy and the thought. The small flower was therefore regarded as a symbol of loving thoughts, remembrance, and affection. When worn as jewellery, it could convey a tender message, in the spirit of “Think of me.” The brooch was designed by Georg Jensen and is part of the tradition of Danish Art Nouveau, known as “Skønvirke.” This style, which emerged c. 1900, was characterized by a special closeness to nature, softly rounded, sculptural forms, and a preference for hammered silver surfaces. Georg Jensen, who had founded his own workshop in Copenhagen in 1904, became one of its most important representatives. His early designs enjoyed enduring popularity, so much so that many of them were still being produced decades later with virtually no changes. Our piece was likely made around 1990. The hallmark on the back indicates that it was imported to London in 1992.
