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 piece of jewellery, possibly a brooch, the main part of which is an oval plate inlaid with rows of diamonds in concentric patterns. The border is inlaid with four star-shaped clusters of diamonds, and at either side, the brooch is mounted with a further decorative-shaped cluster of diamonds. The centre of the plate is inlaid with an oval sapphire. Suspended from this main part is further decoration using diamonds, and a large tear-drop-shaped pearl at the bottom.","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":"AAT54196"},{"text":"painting","id":"AAT54216"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pencil, ink and watercolour drawings 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":["2010EB6200"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"MD","shelf":"16","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":"11.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"6.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"This design was part of the display, <u>Exquisite Artistry: Jewellery Designs from the Brogden Album</u> at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 19 February - 17 November, 2019.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Design for jewellery, by the firm of John Brogden, about 1860","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Taken from the display label"},{"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":"jewellery","id":"AAT209286"},{"text":"brooch","id":"AAT45995"},{"text":"diamond","id":"AAT11084"},{"text":"star","id":"AAT9811"},{"text":"sapphire","id":"AAT11083"},{"text":"pearl","id":"AAT11827"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.2:1149-1986"],"accessionNumberNum":"2","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":1986,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2011-02-01","availableToBook":false}}
