FAQs

Art Nouveau enamel jewellery gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavily influenced by natural forms, insects, and flowing organic lines. British makers like Charles Horner adapted these artistic movements into commercial sterling silver pieces featuring colourful vitreous enamel work.

These brooches are typically constructed from sterling silver stamped with official British hallmarks. The decorative colour is achieved using vitreous enamel, a powder glass fused onto metal surfaces at high temperatures, often over engine-turned patterns known as guilloche.

Authentic pieces generally bear the official makers mark CH alongside British silver hallmarks, such as the Chester assay office mark. Original items feature distinct hand-applied enamel gradients and period-appropriate pin mechanisms on the reverse.

An enamel brooch can be worn on the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened to a silk scarf, or pinned onto a heavy wool coat. Alternatively, collector pieces are often displayed in glass-fronted shadow boxes or velvet-lined jewellery cases.

Clean silver areas gently using a soft jewellery polishing cloth, avoiding liquid silver dips which can strip patination or damage enamel. Store the piece flat in a padded box to prevent impact damage or chipping to the vitreous glass coating.
