"Part of the essence of the Baroque, which flourished in the 17th century, is the swelling movement of all forms, which powerfully and vividly strive to merge into one another. The Baroque scrollwork lends the jewellery a special plasticity and lively power." - From a catalog of the Blachian-Antik-Schmuck (BAS) company from the 1950s. Founded in 1742 by Franz Eligius Blachian in Traunstein, the gold and silversmiths Blachian Antik-Schmuckerei was dedicated to works of the past. Mostly cast in silver, more rarely in gold, the company produced pieces of jewellery whose individual forms were taken from works of art from different eras. In an old Blachian catalog, for example, Romanesque and Gothic forms and those from the Migration Period can be found alongside Renaissance elements. However, the majority of Blachian's jewelry creations are Baroque forms. This pair of cufflinks, created in the mid-20th century, features large sculptural elements that wonderfully illustrate the principle of the "swelling forms" described above. C-sweeps, mirrored in the middle, show sculpted acanthus leaves with protruding tips. The pair of cufflinks came to us unworn and on a velvet backing from the estate of a Munich jeweler. The original label with the former retail price of DM 62 and a description of the Blachian company have been preserved. The perfect shirt jewelry for the historically interested man of today!

"Throughout the ages and in the diversity of cultures, the art of gold and silversmithing has given us unique works of beauty. In museums and private collections, these jewels still bear witness to the rich culture of times gone by. Blachian Antique Jewelry (BAS) conveys the beauty of these old masterpieces in a faithful reproduction that is true to the original and thus gives luxurious pleasure. BAS thus acts as a mediator between the works of art of our ancestors and the people of the present day. BAS deepens and enriches the culture of the human soul." With these words, the gold and silversmith Blachian-Antik-Schmuckerei, founded in 1742, describes itself in a sales catalog from the 1950s.
