This is a modernist brooch from the Art Deco period, created by Jakob Bengel around 1930. The jewellery piece is formed from a silver-coloured chrome-plated metal and a green glass central section, showing a geometric symmetry across the design. The visual details include a torpedo-shaped body with pointed conical ends, a ribbed central block, and stepped collar mouldings alongside the green glass accent, while a pin fixture is attached to the reverse. Measuring 3.3 cm high, 7.3 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep, the item is sized to suit a range of accessories. In a modern home, the brooch is worn as a personal ornament, suitable for both day and evening use. It can be pinned to coats, scarves, hats, bags, and shoes to add a decorative touch to outfits. The piece remains unworn and retains its original handwritten paper label attached near the fastening, indicating old-new stock condition.

FAQs

Modernist costume jewellery of the 1930s is characterised by industrial aesthetics, geometric symmetry, and machine-age forms influenced by the Bauhaus movement and Art Deco design.

Pieces from this era frequently utilised non-precious metals such as chrome-plated or nickel-plated brass paired with early synthetic plastics like Galalith, or coloured moulded glass.

Authentic pieces often feature distinctive geometric metalwork, tubular or brickwork constructions, original simple pin-backs, and are frequently unstamped as many were produced for export without makers marks.

A geometric 1930s brooch can be worn on a tailored blazer lapel, fastened to a silk scarf, or displayed framed in a fabric-lined shadow box as decorative wall art.

Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, keeping the piece clear of water, harsh chemical cleaners, and perfumes which can damage plated metals and synthetic materials.
