Art Deco Brooch
Art Deco brooches often display the high levels of design and artistry that is a hallmark of the Art Deco movement. As with other mediums, the same repetitive geometric shapes and stylised figures, animal forms and plants are utilised in these pieces.
Brooches designed in the Art Deco style commonly use African motifs, Egyptian forms such as scarabs, starkly geometric, stylised flowers and nude figural shapes. These same shapes are among the most popular and desirable pieces today.

Many designers, such as Arno Malinowski, Georg Jensen, Evald Nielsen, Harald Nielsen, Theodor Fahrner, René Lalique, Henri Vever, Alfred Dunhill and the Fouquet Family, used stamps to identify their work as well as the standard of precious metals used in their brooches. Another element of identification is also through the use of reference numbers such as those used by Jensen.
Materials such as chrome, Bakelite, silver, platinum, precious stones, glass, rhinestones, enamel and semi-precious stones such as coral and marcasite, were essential in the mass production of Art Deco brooches.
From a collector’s standpoint, region is important. Knowledge that the majority of French Art Deco brooches were made in Paris is immensely significant. Original boxes that feature the designer or retailer add to the value of these pieces. For the most part, designs that were created in the flashy Hollywood style of Art Deco are less popular unless they hold some type of attachment to celebrity. In particular, demand is generally limited to Art Deco or jewellery collectors and the value of each piece often depends on attribution and current fashions.
