Unusual Vintage Earclips From Silver By Theodor Fahrner, 1950s

Description

The German jewellery manufacturer Theodor Fahrner made artists' jewellery affordable from the year 1850, because he combined modern forms with democratic materials. He did not create individual pieces for a small elite like Lalique or Cartier, but the designs were mass-produced in silver, decorated with enamel, marcasites and occasionally precious stones. Jewelers and department stores throughout Europe sold the jewellery, which Fahrner advertised extensively in journals and magazines: "Fahrner jewellery - based on designs by the best artists" allowed every woman to participate in a modern life full of beauty. But even in the period after the Second World War, Fahrner jewellery remained a household name. The company always followed the latest fashions, which were translated into affordable materials and consistently high quality. Travelling salesmen with large sample cases then presented the new products developed in Pforzheim to the local dealers 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 all series from about 1919 until the dissolution of the company in 1979, mostly with a model number and marked with the "Original Fahrner" seal. The earclips here are therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. The clips follow the glamorous "retro style" of the 1950s and are designed as elegant fans. They are made of silver, the surface of which is laid in small fine grooves on which small silver beads dance like dewdrops. They seem to swing elegantly up the earlobe. Still present on the earclips are the so-called Fahrner seal and the TF label, which have been in use since the early 1950s (see Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005, p. 265). The old order number is noted on the back of the label. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs is offered in the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Jewellery between Avantgarde and Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
