Midcentury Brooch in Silver with Synthetic Sapphire & Rhinestone, Theodor Fahrner, 1960s

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

This brooch is a beautiful example of Fahrner jewellery from the 1960s. It shows in the center a round scroll, set with rhinestones and a blue synthetic sapphire. A sweeping arc shape with polished surfaces captures this structure in an exciting way. Since the early years of the company, traveling salesmen with large sample cases had presented the innovations developed in Pforzheim to local jewelers every year. One such sample case had lain untouched in an attic for the last 40 years or more until it was offered to us. It contained samples of almost all series from about 1919 until the dissolution of the company in 1979, mostly marked with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The 1960s gem we have here comes from this sample case and is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. Fahrner jewellery is readily collected.

Jewellery between avant-garde and tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005.

In the history of jewellery from Germany, Fahrner jewellery from Pforzheim occupies a special place. For Theodor Fahrner and later his successor Gustav Braendle knew how to make artistically convincing designs and quality workmanship the hallmark of their brooches, necklaces, bracelets and earrings in the epochs of Art Nouveau and Art Deco like hardly any other modern jewelry manufacturer. But even during the period of reconstruction after 1945, Fahrner jewellery remained a household name. At first, the company mainly produced designs that formally continued the old successes. But soon Pforzheim was also producing in the taste of the new age. In the 1960s, silver, which could be easily worked, was the most popular material. Interesting and unusual structures and daring volumes were in demand.
