About the Item
We are so proud to show here this one-of-a-kind piece, a 1910 vanity mirror created by one of the most famous jeweler in Europe, Wolfers.
The name Wolfers has fascinated and enchanted since 1812. It is one of the oldest and most prestigious goldsmiths and European jewelers. Successive generations of passionate artisans and artists have enabled it to stand the test of time.
Many books have been devoted to the wolfers dynasty and their unquestionable influence on the decorative arts of each era. Moreover, we can admire their creations in prestigious museums, such as the Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam. Genius creator and eternal pioneer, Philippe Wolfers was a figurehead of art nouveau in Brussels: his works have carved out the wolfers style: elegance, beauty and boldness.
In 1812 the Wolfers, superb goldsmiths from Liden in Germany moved to Brussels , where they have roots going back to the 16th Century, to carry out their craft, In 1852 Louis created his maker's mark, the head of a boar, crowned with the letter W, the stamp we find on this one-of-a-kind, stunning mirror.
Louis' son Philippe created breath-taking art nouveau, crystal and silver jewelry.
In 1912 Wolfers building was designed by the outstanding architect Victor Horta.
From that glorious period to nowadays Wolfers stands out has the belgian court and one of the most famous high society supplier.
This mirror has arrived to us in perfect, excellent conditions, with no trace of use,

BERCA
A FAMILY STORY, THE STORY OF A JEWELLER
In 1927 Giovanni Battista Berca started creating so beautiful and so refined jewelry that his fame surpassed that of any other master goldsmith.
In a short space of time he became the personal jeweler of influential families who turned to him for their small masterpieces in the tradition of classical high jewelry. Giuseppe Berca, his son, refused to rest on his father’s laurels and decided that the tradition should be updated.
He transformed his workshop into a small company and put emphasis on design development creating his personal style. Following his father’s philosophy is now Marco Giovanni Berca running the company: aesthetic searches coupled with unusual choices in the material selection are the hinges that hold up his ongoing research. “Attention should be placed on the item from which our activity stems: the research and the selection of those gems that may naturally appear mysterious and strange and that, in the hands of the jeweler, transform themselves so to appear almost magical, thanks to their capacity of light, color and joy: that’s why behind each collection lies a stone: we are fascinated by a unique material, its light, its color, the luminous spark that can materialize in front of our gaze; all items that, in themselves, constitute a beginning, the beginning of a new research of forms and volumes fit to give expression to our idea of “bello” –he says.
