Stunning Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and modern jewelry was manufactured
by the firm of Theodor Fahrner for a hundred and twenty-five years
(1855-1979.) Growing into a major producer of style-conscious
jewelry, the company both led and was inspired by the major
European art movements of Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco,
Art Moderne, and Contemporary styles. This new book is profusely
color-illustrated, documenting the designs and the people who made
them. Working in silver, enamels, marcasites, iron, and
semi-precious stones, the designers made each contemporary style of
jewelry available to a wide segment of the population. From their
workshops in Pforzheim, Germany, they exported large quantities to
near and distant cities, including London and the U.S.A. A detailed
chronological study, the volume displays Fahrner jewelry through
precise, original research and over 480 photographs, most in full
color. Sections include advertisements, original design sketches,
all known marks, pictures of the important people, and, most of
all, hundreds of pieces of jewelry.
