ABOUT PRODUCTID 8476
The 'First Swallow' brooch, designed by Jerzy Treutler in 1958 for Moda Polska, is a notable example of Polish mid-century modern jewelry from the late 1950s. Crafted from white metal—likely a chrome or nickel alloy—it is finished with smooth, glossy enamel: deep black on the stylized wings, a sharp white triangle at the center, and an intensely red, enameled circle at the top of the composition. The entire design is framed by a thin, shiny metallic contour that enhances the graphic clarity of the piece. The brooch features a symmetrical, geometric form with polished surfaces, reflecting meticulous craftsmanship and precise enamel application. The bold color contrasts and balanced composition are characteristic of modernist design language. The brooch is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear or restoration.This brooch carries the voice of late-1950s Polish modernism—a time when the swallow became not only a symbol of spring, but also a sign of renewal and hope in Polish fashion. The dynamic line of the wings and graphic simplicity evoke movement and freedom, while the contrast of black, white, and red suggests the boldness of designers seeking their own language in tune with international trends. The swallow—adopted as the emblem of Moda Polska—here speaks of a desire for lightness, but also of the strength found in originality, even in a small, everyday object.The brooch may be placed on smooth fabrics—black, white, or red—to highlight its graphic power and intensify the contrast. It would serve as a distinctive accent on a classic coat, a simple blazer, or a minimalist evening dress. It could be paired with other
