It is a unique record of the years in which John Brogden, an internationally celebrated 'art goldsmith and jeweller worked first in partnership and then as owner-director of his own firm. This was a period of great diversity in fashionable jewellery, and the Brogden firm where noted for their skill in designing and creating a range of styles. \r\n\r\nThe firm was founded by John Brogden the elder in about 1796. From about 1824 to 1831 it was styled 'Brogden and Garland' and thereafter until 1841 'Garland and Watherston'. The younger Brogden, the son of Thomas Brogden and presumably a relative of the founder, served an apprenticeship to J.W. garland as a goldsmith and jeweller from 1834 to 1841. Following Garland's departure, the remaining partner, J.H. Watherston,  removed the firm to new premises at 16 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden and in 1848 joined forces with the younger Brogden.","physicalDescription":"Rectangular card with a pencil, ink and watercolour design for a richly ornamented pendant, comprised of an outer frame of alternate diamonds and small discs of blue enamel bearing the form of a flower with a red centre. Within this frame is a second frame of alternate black and green enamel, lined with gold and inlaid with smaller diamonds, and a third frame of gold and blue enamel triangles. At the very centre of the pendant is an oval of red enamel latticework inlaid with diamonds. Suspended from this main form is a large tear-drop-shaped ruby. Mounted on top of the pendant and acting as the link to the chain is a gold bow.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28674"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Firm of John Brogden","id":"A9309"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pencil","id":"x30347"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"watercolour","id":"x33202"},{"text":"card","id":"x30344"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing","id":"x32498"},{"text":"painting","id":"AAT54216"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pencil, ink and watercolour drawing on card","categories":[{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"}],"styles":[{"text":"Victorian","id":"AAT21232"},{"text":"victorian","id":"x29321"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2010EB6340"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"MD","shelf":"15","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"designs","id":"AAT102051"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1860","earliest":"1855-01-01","latest":"1864-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"11.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"6.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Design for jewellery, by the firm of John Brogden, about 1860","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Huits, Lieske. \"At Once 'Ancient' and 'Modern': <i>The Art-Journal</i>'s Illustrated Catalogues and the Notion of Adaptation in Nineteenth-Century Historicism\", <u>Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide</u> 21, no. 3 (Autumn 2022), https://doi.org/10.29411/ncaw.2022.21.3.2."}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"Design","id":"THES48872"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"pendant","id":"AAT46002"},{"text":"gold","id":"AAT11021"},{"text":"enamel","id":"AAT14910"},{"text":"diamond","id":"AAT11084"},{"text":"flower","id":"x43340"},{"text":"lattice","id":"x43461"},{"text":"ruby","id":"AAT11082"},{"text":"bow","id":"x30687"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.2:1236-1986"],"accessionNumberNum":"2","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":1986,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2011-02-01","availableToBook":false}}
