SCHOLTZ (SCHOLZ) & LAMMEL* - Germany Copper alloy bracelet decorated with navy blue and brown gilt enamel in cloisonné on five plates, the back covered with transparent colourless enamel sprinkled with brown rose and stamped with the hallmark S in a circle on each of the plates. Size: 17 x 1.8 cm. Gross weight: 41.5 g. Scholtz & Lammel were probably part of a group of modernist jewellery designers in mid-twentieth-century Germany, including Wilhelm Leyser of Idar Oberstein, known for his colourful enamels, and Albert Gustav Bunge of Munich, who worked in both religious goldsmiths and jewellers between the 1920s and 1950s. From their small town of Schwäbisch Gmünd, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, they also rubbed shoulders with the creations of the Perli workshop, working with enamel, silver and stones. Scholtz & Lammel worked mainly with two designers, Sigrid Gottstein and Karl Schibensky, but this bracelet does not appear to have been designed by either of them. The style does not correspond to their most emblematic designs. What we have here is one of Scholtz & Lammel's creations in the purest tradition.
