Description

This fine, unusually beautiful brooch presents a sparkling flower of diamonds in a frame of warm, shiny gold. The design is elongated and asymmetrical in a playful way. On the right and left, a golden leaf swings outwards and then towards the center. A further tendril extends downwards from the flower placed there, set with more diamonds and inlaid with silver. The brooch reveals the influence of various simultaneous fashions. The fringed leaves come from the Historicism style and are inspired by Renaissance jewellery. The overall shape of the brooch with its dynamic curves is also clearly influenced by Art Nouveau. It is a typical design of the late 19th century, which brings together different styles to create something completely new and unique - and is more than just an imitation of historical models. The warm, intense tone of the high-carat yellow gold is typical of jewellery from France, and the design language of the elegant arches is also indicative of a French design. Unfortunately, however, the brooch bears no recognizable hallmarks, so that it is not possible to determine its exact location beyond doubt. However, a look at contemporary designs such as the Dessins de joaillerie-bijouterie published by Léon Doumeng in Paris confirms this attribution, see here. We discovered the brooch here in Berlin. It is in very good condition.
