All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Touching Biedermeier Brooch With Porcelain Painting, ca. 1845
At the latest since the Biedermeier years, children in Europe were no longer regarded as miniature adults, but were understood as children in their own right. Only now were they seen as little beings in need of love, the pride of loving and caring parents. It is not surprising that during this time, jewellery was created for the first time, which focuses precisely on this discovery of the child. This touching brooch is to be seen in this context. The piece of jewellery from the 1840s presents an oval porcelain plate with a finely executed depiction of a child. Dreamy looks the propere girl on a small butterfly on his hand. A simple metal frame holds the plaque. The resulting piece of jewellery is a beautiful testament to the late Biedermeier period, combining craftsmanship with the zeitgeist of late Romanticism.
