Art Deco 1930s Czechoslovakian Rhinestone and Glass Vintage Floral Brooch

This marvellous brooch is of exceptional quality and design. It was created in the late 1950s in Kaufbeuren, West Germany by Rudolph Lucke & Co. Condition Report: Excellent The Details... This rhodium plated metal brooch features a large crescent design. It is detailed with pear cut, oval cut, marquise cut and brilliant cut rhinestones. The rhinestones are shades of blue pink, purple, green and pale yellow. A number of them have a two-tone effect, so that they appear different colours when the light hits the brooch at different angles. All of the stones are set within open back mounts and the larger stones are un-foiled to allow the light to pass through them. All of the stones are multi-faceted and claw set. They are of excellent quality and were most likely made in West Germany too. The brooch fastens with a traditional safety catch and the fastening pin is attached to the brooch with a round hinge. The brooch is stamped '53' on the reverse, which corresponds with the registration number for the Rudolph Lucke and Co factory. The brooch measures 9.75cm x 3.5cm. A Short History... Rudolph Lucke and Co was a manufacturer of high-end costume jewellery based within the Kaufbeuren-Neugablonz industrial zone in Western Germany. After the second world war, this area became a hot bed for the creation of quality fashion jewels. Important designers, such as Christian Dior and Balenciaga, looked to the Kaufbeuren jewellery producers to make their pieces. The Rudolph Lucke factory consisted of a small and highly skilled workforce. In 1969, the factory was recorded as employing 20 craftspeople. Wear it With...
