Theodor Farhner Silver, Rock Crystal, Coral ​& Marcasite Brooch

742C
484 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

In Germany Art Nouveau was known as Jugendstil, this became a major influence on the decorative arts by 1900. In 1907, the Deutscher Warbund was formed to promote an alliance between art and industry. It was a teaching institution started by Van der Velde and Hermann Muthesius, partly inspired by British design developments. Its influence is particularly evident in the mass produced jewellery designs of the company of Theodor Farhner in Pforzhiem, which was the centre of the German jewellery industry between 1900 and 1930. This brooch is from that period and typically Art Deco. It is signed.
