Description

A striking vintage silver and guilloche enamel brooch in the form of a lily. This fabulous brooch is wonderfully styled and is coloured with the most vibrant yellow guilloche enamel with silver around the edges. On the back is a good fastening pin and next to this the designers mark for Knut A Rasmussen, plus marks stating '925 S, Norway sterling'.

  

Rasmussen produced his pieces in Oslo and died in the 1950's. He produced very unusual modernist jewellery and was very much a forerunner in style: his jewellery is admired and very collectable.

  

Great for a collector of Norwegian jewellery.  Unusual brooch and in very good condition, other than some very slight wear to the gilding on the side that can be seen in the last picture.

Period: circa 1940's.

   

Measurements:  Width:  5.5 cm    Height:  2.5 cm    Weight:  10.1 grams

Weights and measurements are approximate

FAQs

Mid-century Scandinavian enamel jewellery is characterised by minimalist organic forms, vibrant vitreous enamel colours, and high-grade silver, often drawing inspiration from Nordic flora and fauna.

Artisans typically used sterling silver, often with a gilt or vermeil finish, combined with guilloche or translucent enamel applied over engraved metal patterns.

Authentic pieces usually bear makers marks, silver purity stamps such as 925S, and national hallmarks indicating Norwegian, Danish, or Swedish origin.

These statement brooches can be pinned to lapels, scarves, or hats to add a sophisticated splash of colour and mid-century design pedigree to modern outfits.

Store enamel pieces away from direct sunlight and moisture, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, and clean gently with a soft cloth to protect the delicate vitreous glass surface.
