I love Paris in the spring time, I love Paris in the fall, I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles, I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles. I love Paris every moment Every moment of the year I love Paris Why, oh, why do I love Paris? Because my love is here! Ella Fitzgerald sings in Cole Porter's classic "I love Paris" the love of the French metropolis on the Seine. Especially in the turbulent era between the world wars, Paris once again shone particularly brightly in cultural terms. It was the era of Art Deco - and Paris was the undisputed capital of this style. It was here that this immensely elegant and modern language of form had its origins, in the great exhibition "Exposition internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modernes" in 1925. Around the Grand and Petit Palais, 15,000 exhibitors from 18 countries showed the latest trends in industrial design and applied arts - and visitors quickly agreed that a whole new style for life had emerged here. The geometric, powerful forms of the designs, soon to be called Art Decó, quickly became at home all over the world. New York, for example, soon established itself as the most important place for architecture in this new style. But Paris remained the center for all kinds of the arts. Painting, decorative arts and jewellery - the most compelling and still well-known artists lived and worked here. The brooch here is an almost prototypical jewel of this style and comes from the France of the years around 1930. Forged from high-carat white gold with a platinum obverse, the brooch shows a graphically austere, transverse shape. Its front presents a glittering setting of a multitude of diamonds. In the center of the composition shines a large old-cut diamond of about 0.80 carat. To prevent it from tipping when worn, a small hook was added at the back to support it. The coolly elegant brooch is a wonderful example of French Art Deco, whose workmanship, materials and design language exude a modernity that transcends the passing of time.
