1930s Jakob Bengel Art Deco Brooch

Expertly crafted in solid 835 silver (hallmarked), the piece features a hand-hammered finish and a bold composition of curved red and black enamel bands. The streamlined, geometric design reflects Bengel’s signature aesthetic: a fusion of industrial modernism and refined elegance.
