A SOLJE OR BUNARD BROOCH

TRADITIONAL NORWEGIAN JEWELLERY

MARRIAGE JEWELLERY, OFTEN WORN AS PART OF THE NATIONAL COSTUME

BY IVAR HOLT

ONE OF NORWAY\'S BEST KNOW DESIGNERS

THE MAIN PARTIS A PRETTY HEART SHAPE

WITH A CROWN ABOVE

VERY SIMILAR TO THE SCOTTISH LUCKENBOOTH

THREE ROWS OF FILIGREE WITH DANGLES AND GILT SPOONS

CASCADE DOWN THE BROOCH

VERY PRETTY

THE FILIGREE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION

IT IS VERY RARE TO FIND THIS STYLE OF JEWELLERY IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION

THIS TRADITIONAL DESIGN WOULD CONFIRM THAT IT IS A VINTAGE PIECE

THE BROOCH HAS A ROLLOVER FASTENING

SUGGESTING IT IS VINTAGE, PROBABLY FROM THE 1930s TO 50s

PERHAPS A LITTLE LATER

STAMPED 830S

THE NORWEGIAN STANDARD OF SILVER YOU WOULD EXPECT TO FIND

ON PIECES LIKE THIS

AND ALSO H IN A CIRCLE, HOLT\'S MARK

A LARGE BROOCH

IT MEASURES OVERALL ABOUT 40 X 86 MM

OVER ONE AND A HALF INCHES BY THREE AND A HALF INCHES

INCLUDING THE DANGLES AND SPOONS

THE SPOONS ON THIS TYPE OF JEWELLERY ARE OFTEN GILDED

ON THIS PIECE THEY ARE PLAIN SILVER

HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY ORIGINAL

I CAN\'T SEE ANY PATCHES OF GILDING

I HAVEN\'T CLEANED THE PIECE AS MANY COLLECTORS PREFER THEM UNCLEANED

LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT IT TO LOOK PRISTINE

BUT THE GREYISH PATINA LOOKS VERY GOOD

AND THE SPOONS ARE STILL SHINY

MADE IN NORWAY

A LOVELY EXAMPLE IN VERY GOOD USED CONDITION
