Norwegian Modernist "Silverklang" Brooch
Modernist Silverklang (Sound of Silver) brooch designed by Marianne Berg for David-Anderson. It's signed to the back and crafted in sterling silver with blue and green pools of vitreous enamel. An excellent example of the Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Norway, circa 1966.
A similar example is on display in Aberdeen Art Gallery where it is described thus:
"Marianne Berg was born in Norway and was one of David Andersen’s ‘in house’ designers who worked for the company from the late 1950s until the late 1970s.
This brooch is related to the Troll Series of jewellery, a collection of cast pieces of jewellery characterised by a new sense of simplicity and the use of gemstones found in Norway.
The jewellery in this series of work was not intended to impress or provide evidence of the economic status of the wearer. Rather, it expressed an idea of simple beauty coming from the materials themselves."
