Edwardian Hardy Brothers Brisbane Diamond Black Opal Brooch Pin
About the Item
Hardy Brothers was founded in Australia in 1853 by the watchmaker John Hardy. It was for many years based both in London and Australia, in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. In its early years, Hardy Brothers was almost exclusively a retailer and most pieces were imported from England through the offices of Hardy's brother Samuel, who was based in London. The brothers had a volatile relationship and in 1859, John Hardy bitterly protested about the low-quality stock Samuel was sending. reflects the Moorish style that became prominent in jewelery and design from the 1840s. It is possible that this brooch was made in England and retailed in Sydney, as most brooches sold around 1860 by Hardy Brothers were imported. The records for Hardy Brothers, held in the Mitchell Library in Sydney, indicate this. You can look him up online and pull up hundreds of references. his work is featured in museums throughout the world, he only worked with the best opals. It is in it's original box.
