At the turn of the century, 19th century historicism had explored the last historical styles and brought them back to life. Neo-Gothic churches, Neo-Renaissance palaces and Neo-Baroque cathedrals can still be seen today in all the old towns of Europe and the USA, while salons in the Neo-Rococo and even Neo-Egyptian styles had long since been created. Over time, a certain weariness set in. Art Nouveau had already begun to look for new forms, but was still caught up in rich decoration. In the first years of the new century, the avant-garde of artists, designers and architects now tried to dispense with decoration and historical forms to an even greater extent. Peter Behrens, for example, developed a clear, archaic-classical style in architecture in Germany, in which he built impressive villas and embassy buildings. Similar examples can be found in other European countries and also in the USA, which represent one of the sources of Art Deco. This pair of luxurious cufflinks dates from those years. The round shields are crafted from high-carat gold and feature a striking design of concentric circles that are reminiscent of small targets in alternating gold and blue. A small diamond occupies the center of each one. Small chains connect the four similarly designed fronts and make the decorative pieces easy to put on. The cufflinks from the house of the noble London jeweler Mappin & Webb have been wonderfully preserved in their original case and can be worn immediately.
