AntiqueArtNouveau 1920s RedPouredGlass Czech Neiger BrassFiligree Dangle Brooch

About the Item

In the 1920s in an Art-Nouveau style, Czech costume-jewelry designer Max Neiger created this brass dangle brooch that features three different shapes of either bezel-or-prong set red glass for a wide variety of rich and bright reflections. Aside from his elegant work arranging colorful glass, Max's complex gilded-metal filagree designs are recognizable without signatures for their exceptional craftsmanship that was outsourced to metalsmith estamperies rather than factory stamped. Some of these high-quality designs were figural or included exotic motifs that referenced Egyptian, Chinese or Indian cultures. Max worked with his business-minded brother Norbert at the Neiger Brothers factory in Gablonz, Czechoslovakia, from around 1905 through the 1930s. Unfortunately, the Jewish duo perished after being war-displaced to continue their work in Bohemia. After being arrested in Prague, they were murdered in 1942 by the Nazis at the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp. While they enjoyed international fame in the 1920s with many orders from The States and Europe, a Vogue feature about their work nearly a decade ago resulted in resurgent demand for their pieces, which are more rare than their glass-specialized jewelry-designer peers, such as Alfred Philippe who had a long career at Trifari.
