Large Art Nouveau Antique Brooch Evald Nielsen Silver 830 Butterscotch Amber
Large antique brooch of a well known Denmark’s jeweler Evald Nielsen! Made in the beginning of 1900. The brooch is hallmarked Evald Nielsen signature and 830 S (The silver workshop was allowed to use the quality mark “830 S” or “925 S”. To ensure that rules of quality were kept the Stastguardein visited the workshops on a regular basis and made spot tests – a way of working which is still being handheld today).
Evald Nielsen opened his workshop the year after the well known Georg Jensen started as silversmith. In the years to come Evald Nielsen put his mark on the Danish skønvirke-style (jugend).
Contrary to Georg Jensen Evald Nielsen based his firm on his own design and only to a small extent used artists and architects as designers.
During the first decades he himself designed jewellery, hollow ware and cutlery. He generated his own style, among other things characterized by the so-called drawn out or stretched mountings holding the stones of the jewellery.
We have also another nice brooch made by Evald Nielsen smaller size, which is also listed. It’s shown on the last picture in this listing. They looks very well together. If you will buy 2 brooches we will make a discount for you.
