MASRIERA AND CARRERAS.Pendant brooch in 18k yellow gold. Modernist frontispiece with marked romantic
Pendant brooch in 18k yellow gold. Modernist frontispiece with marked romantic symbolism decorated with the figure of a winged nymph, wearing a long pleated tunic topped by a slightly pearled lower pearl with movement. She rests on a circular structure decorated with a calibrated ruby-cut carré, total weight ca. 2.50 cts, and holds a large diamond in her hands. The figure is framed in a translucent background worked in 'pliqué-à-jour' enamel with lines decorated with diamonds weighing ca. 1.00 cts.
A similar model is catalogued in "Els Masriera. Un segle de joieria i orfebreria", p. 132, ref. 101.
According to this publication, the original drawing of a very similar model appears in the 1908-1916 Workshop Book. A very similar coloured drawing appears in Álbum Masriera Hermanos Colgantes Figura, 90, num. 12.0290. This piece corresponds to a particularly symbolist model which was very successful and in great demand at the beginning of the 20th century, which is why there were many commissions with different variants, especially between 1908 and 1911.
Measurements: 9 x 4 cm.
The firm was founded in Barcelona in 1838 by Josep Masriera Vidal. The process of making the pieces, from the design to the final polishing, was carried out in the family workshop, which gradually expanded as demand increased and, with it, production. By the end of the 19th century, the Masriera workshop was already the most important in the city of Barcelona, winning the Gold Medal and the Unique Prize awarded by the Associació d'Artífexs en Joieria i Plateria de Barcelona (Association of Jewellers and Silversmiths of Barcelona). In 1887 they changed their name to "Masriera Hermanos", and with Josep Masriera Manovens at the helm, production was extended to jewellery, partly thanks to the recovery of various enamelling techniques, together with his son Lluís Masriera Rosés, who became the jeweller of Catalan Modernisme, achieving international renown.
