Trifari KTF 1930s Alfred Philippe Red Blue Crystal Large Dress Clip Brooch

Limited Edition 1930s Trifari KTF crystal clip designed by Alfred Philippe in very good condition. Made during the period the Company was known as'KTF' or Trifari, Krussman and Fishel. Trifari traded as one of America's premier costume jewelry companies from around 1910 and so their earlier pieces are rare and hard to find.

This much sought after 1930s Trifari dress clip is beautifully constructed with hand set crystals, all hand set in rhodium plated silver tone metal. This clip would have adorned a ladies dress, fur or jacket embodying the glamour and chic of the well heeled in the 1930s. The Parisian born Alfred Philippe trained at the prestigious design school LEcole Boulle.

After emigrating to the US he worked as a fine jewellery designer for William Scheer Inc. One of the foremost manufacturing jewelers of the Art Deco era. Scheer created items for Cartier & Van Cleef & Arpels and Philippe was responsible for several full collections for these prestigious houses. Following the Crash in 1929, Philippe moved to Trifari as a designer, eventually becoming the head designer where he worked until his retirement in 1968. His fine jewelry experience strongly influenced his designs and jewelry manufacturing techniques. Please check my other listings!
