Stylish and luxurious show the present cufflinks from the years around 1920, which were made in the center of German jewellery manufacturing Pforzheim. Since the 16th century, goldsmiths were active in the city at the foot of the Black Forest, whose traditions and expertise are still the basis of jewellery creation of local manufacturers. The quality of Pforzheim's pieces is also evident in this precious accessory for the Heeren. The pair, a work of the J.S. Kahn Jewelry, Costume Jewellery and Button Factory, each consists of two identical octagonal buttons connected by chains. The buttons are made of gold, the surface of which shows an elegant wave pattern. Minimally domed buttons have white and black enamel framing. The simple design, which still looks modern today and yet is immensely effective, makes the buttons a tasteful eye-catcher on the shirt, which nevertheless perfectly captures the contemporary taste of its time of origin!

The years between the wars brought a previously unseen departure into modernity in fashion and art. Abstraction and the avant-garde sought new forms of design precisely by turning away from all representationalism. With the great Paris exhibition "Exposition internationale des Arts Décoratifs et industriels modernes" in 1925, the high point of development was reached and France became the driving force for strictly geometric forms of design. Art Deco, named after the successful show, spread abruptly through the European metropolises and countered the floral Art Nouveau with an almost technical new formal language. The pair of cufflinks here was created in the years around 1920 and shows very nicely the spirit of the time.
