Around 1900 the Pforzheim jewellery-making industry, which had been established since 1767, underwent an upturn to flourish as never before. The participation of Pforzheim businesses in the 1900 Paris World Exhibition and the thorough assimilation of a variety of influences from abroad – including the figurative French Art Nouveau style – ensured that Pforzheim Art Nouveau jewellery developed confidently towards aesthetic autonomy.

Collaboration between the jewellery industry and professors at the Pforzheim School for the Applied Arts as well as sharp eyes for new developments outside the jewellery capital shaped Pforzheim jewellery creations around 1900. Other fecund sources of colla-boration were the Darmstadt Mathildenhöhe artists and Wiener Werkstätte. The author has discovered hitherto unpublished contemporary source material and has been able to draw on hundreds of extant original pieces of jewellery – brooches, pendants, collars, hatpins and hair combs that are now in museums, private collections and on the art market – to make a choice selection for this book. Thus a living picture emerges of the diverse formal and technical -possibilities that gave rise to the design, craftsmanship and industrial manufacture characteristic of Pforzheim Art Nouveau jewellery.

Many important designers worked for the Pforzheim jewellery industry around 1900. This is the first wide-ranging survey – informative on both artists and firms and lavishly illustrated.

Jewelry was one of the purest, and most successful, expressions of Art Nouveau style, using sensuous organic forms to create a vast range of objects of exceptional beauty and inventiveness. Leading expert Vivienne Becker provides an account of the movement that spread through Europe and the United States, acquiring different decorative characteristics in England, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Russia and Spain.

For the collector, comprehensive biographies on more than 300 designers are included, followed by a guide to identification, with over 200 makers’ marks and signatures. Each part of the book is richly illustrated with plate sections of dramatic illustrations, from the sinuous elegance of the French masters - Vever, Lalique and Fouquet - to the linear, geometric designs of the Viennese - Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser.

The basic tenet of Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau) was to "suffuse all areas of life with art". This also applied to objects in everyday use.

The German Blade Museum boasts the world's biggest cutlery collection. Vol. I of the Museum catalogue presents "Jugendstil Cutlery" in all its diversity. Silver, silver-plate and other materials were used for this cutlery, most of it made in Germany. The collection comprises more than 300 patterns, which are arranged here by purely formal criteria to reveal the enormous variety of forms and decoration. No other era produced such a diversity of decorative designs and this is the first ever publication to deal with it. All known makers and designers, as well as anonymous factory designs for patterns, are represented in this collection.
