"The beauty of clothing is enhanced to an extraordinary degree by the distinctive effect of Fahrner jewellery. No lady of taste will want to do without it in the future." (From a brochure of the company Theodor Fahrner from the 1920s) Salesmen with large sample cases presented the new products developed in Pforzheim to local retailers every year. One such sample case, full of unworn Fahrner jewellery, 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, most of them with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The brooch here is therefore also unworn and perfectly preserved. The brooch shows up in the form of two superimposed ribbons connected by a clasp set with marcasites. The surface of the bands, which are elegantly curved, are decorated by parallel hatchings or small, irregularly applied cords. These ornaments, which look like filigree wire, have given the series its name: "Filigree Jewellery". A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs is offered in the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005, where the jewellery series in question can be found on p. 226f. Fahrner jewellery is often collected. Discover all the other pieces of Fahrner jewellery we offer at this site.
