Antique German Art Deco Silver, Enamel & Marcasite Rectangular Brooch by Hermann Bauer
Up for sale is a stunning, authentic antique European Art Deco brooch featuring a striking geometric fan and stylized floral design. This is a genuine period piece crafted by the renowned German manufacturer Hermann Bauer (founded 1863 in Schwäbisch Gmünd), not a modern reproduction.

The reverse side is clearly struck with its original rectangular antique German silver hallmark. It features a split-box layout displaying the number \"2\" in the top square (denoting 2nd Standard silver fineness, typical of continental .835/.800 silver) sitting directly above the connected geometric \"HB\" monogram for Hermann Bauer.
