This brooch from the 1950s is made of gilded silver and decorated with guilloché enamel. It was created by Ivar T. Holth (1909-1977), a famous Norwegian silversmith and jewelry designer.
Ivar T. Holth founded his wholesale company in Oslo in 1943 and it quickly became one of Norway's leading jewelry wholesalers. In 1949, he further established Oslo Emalje- og Sølvvarefabrikk AS, specializing in the production of enamel jewelry. His works are inspired by the humanities and geography of Northern Europe. Flowers, leaves, butterflies and even Viking ships are all sources of inspiration. The exquisite enamel processing technology is also one of the reasons why the brand is widely sought after in the market.
The brooch has a three-dimensional structure full of tension, and the flower shape is outlined with simple lines. The petals are decorated with embossed enamel to show the delicate veins and stamens, and the bright sky blue tone makes them look lively and full of vitality. The modern natural element design and excellent enamel craftsmanship both demonstrate the brand's unique expertise.
Guilloché is a highly decorative and complex technique that originated in France in the 17th century. It involves manually operating a special machine to carve precise continuous patterns (such as ripples or geometric diamonds) on metal to create a complex pattern effect. The work is often then painted with enamel made from glass powder to determine the color tone. The above steps need to be repeated many times, which is a great test of the craftsman's skills and patience.
The piece is in old condition, with normal signs of oxidation and wear. The back area has obvious signs of use, and the enamel is well preserved and almost intact. With 925S/STERLING sterling silver print, maker print, and NORWAY origin print. This is an old jewelry item, not in new condition.
