Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning antique guilloché enamel pendant made by the prominent Norwegian maker Marius Hammer of Bergen, c.1900.

As expected with Hammer's wares, the quality of the silver mount, engine turning and enamelling is absolutely wonderful.

The guilloche work is very fine and tightly done with beautiful sunburst accents and an almost floral overall circular pattern. The enamel features an alluring light blue tone that is immediately captivating to the eye.

The enamel remains in excellent order with no damage despite its age; what could possibly be better than a perfect enamel surface? Two! Astonishingly, even with its ergonomic slimness, this pendant not only has a front side but is equally embellished on the other side as it forms a locket with two glass frame holders on the interior.

Such a fine mechanism and embellishment on both sides are a testament to Hammer's craftsmanship and intricacy - truly a 'no cost cut' creation and a splendid object of vertu that also happens to be wearable.

Owing to its stylish colour and paired chain (the photographed silver chain is also included), we believe this locket pendant serves as a wonderful necklace to wear, whether to carry sentimental value or as a magnificent piece of antique jewellery, bound to be a conversation starter and a distinguished way to express your passion of fine antiques.

Overall, a stunning piece of enamelware ideal for lovers of antiques with unique character and reflective qualities. It may just be the perfect gift for someone special for an occasion or as an indulgent present to yourself.

The pendant is marked on the bail with Marius Hammer's maker's mark "MH" and "930s" for the silver standard (just a touch above sterling 925).

All of our jewellery comes with a complimentary hard shell gift box with a velvet interior.

Guilloche enamel is a decorative technique where a precise geometric pattern is mechanically engraved into a metal surface, which is then covered with translucent coloured enamel to reveal the pattern beneath.

Traditional pieces from this region typically utilise sterling silver, often with a gold wash known as silver gilt, combined with vitreous glass enamel fired at high temperatures.

Authentic pieces frequently bear maker marks, traditional silver purity hallmarks such as 830S or 925, and exhibit the characteristic depth and weight of hand-applied vitreous enamel rather than modern resin.

An antique enamel pendant can be worn as a statement piece on a simple chain, paired with minimalist contemporary attire to highlight the intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colour.

Preservation involves storing pieces away from direct sunlight and moisture, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, and cleaning gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
