Lamborn and Wagner was an Australian jewellery firm founded in Melbourne in 1858 by William Lamborn and Leopold Wagner. They were one of the earliest manufacturing jewellers in Australia, and their work is highly sought after by collectors today. Lamborn and Wagner specialized in gold jewellery with a botanical theme, often incorporating kangaroos and emus. Their pieces were known for their intricate craftsmanship and fine detailing. They also produced a range of other jewellery, including silver, enamel, and pearl pieces. The firm's most famous piece is perhaps the "Kangaroo Brooch," which was made in 1864. The brooch is made of gold and enamel, and it features a kangaroo standing on a vine branch. The kangaroo is surrounded by leaves and flowers, and the entire piece is set with diamonds. After operating for over 25 years, Lamborn and Wagner closed their business in 1885.
