Art Deco Platinum & Diamond Bow Brooch by Kohn

About the Item

This delightful bow brooch was made during the Art Deco period and is signed for the notable maker, Kohn. Crafted from platinum the piece is entirely hand crafted and centres on an Old European cut diamond of G colour and VS2 clarity weighing 0.18 carat. The entire body of the bow is hand pierced and set with a mixture of Old European cut, single cut and semi-modern brilliant cut diamonds, each of G-J colour and VS-SI clarity. To the rear of the brooch is a hinged yellow gold pin and hook with safety catch which is marked 'KOHN'. For over 100 years, Henry Kohn & Sons was a high-quality jewellery institution in Hartford, Connecticut. Henry Kohn was born in Bohemia, Austria, in 1839 and came to America in 1865. Henry settled in Hartford, Connecticut, and started his small jewellery business. Kohn's eponymous company was a retail and wholesale diamond and precious gemstone establishment that enjoyed much success. An 1886 article from the Hartford Courant stated that Kohn "is everywhere recognised as a gentleman of superior business attainments and thoroughly affable ways and manners". Whilst it is not necessarily evident in the images, the brooch has a wonderful three dimensional 'wave' which was undoubtedly difficult for the jeweller to craft. A lovely example of a platinum and diamond bow brooch from the Art Deco era.
