It is very difficult to believe that at one time this company was obscure. Especially since it had a 130 year run! The pieces were unsigned and if not for a chance discovery of a sample book we may not have ever known who created this fabulous German Art Deco costume jewelry.
Jakob Bengal is now being hailed and deservedly so, as the “pioneer of Art Deco jewelry design”. Add to that the introduction of the forerunner to Bakelite; Galalith and the “remove the barriers”, “form follows function” Bauhaus style. Bauhaus was an art movement in Germany that had its heyday around the same period as Art Deco. The principles are the similar in that both movements sprouted in a period of confluence of social, political, educational and artistic change and upheaval. In additional there was a tiring of the flourished style that proceeded as it relates to the upheavals. Art Deco is really a design style within Bauhaus.
Celebrating the Machine Age, this is a chrome and galalith necklace, geometric and a great example of integrating art and industry.
Similar necklaces can be seen in Christianne Weber’s book Art Deco Jewelry- Jacob Bengel, Idar- Oberstein, Germany.
