Summary

Jewelry design by Philippe Wolfers exhibited at the Art & History Museum, Brussels, in December 2018

Philippe Wolfers for Wolfers Frères: Nikè brooch (1902). Collection King Baudouin Foundation, former Marcel Wolfers collection 

His mature work belongs to the Art Nouveau style, while in his later years his work aligned with Art Deco. As a jewel designer, he was less prolific than his French contemporary René Lalique. Nevertheless his "exemplaire unique" series of jewelry is among the finest jewelry created in Art Nouveau. Wolfers is also known for his sculptures, decorative objects and tableware executed in precious materials such as silver, bronze, ivory and marble. He also designed vases and objects in glass and faience.
