Vintage 1950s Niels Erik From Danish sterling silver and amber brooch with fish motif
A Danish Modernist piece from silversmith Niels Erik From (1908-1982). This piece is sizeable and set with a fiery cabochon of cherry/butterscotch colored amber. The motif is From's beloved fish design, which shows big-eyed fish, bubbles, and stars in a jumbled frenzy around the semi-precious stone. From's fish motif jewelry is highly collectible and a lovely example of
Skønvirke style jewelry: From "Antique Jewelry University (Lang Antiques):
"Skønvirke translates as “Beautiful Work.” It is the name applied to Danish jewelry made in an Arts and Crafts style. This Skønvirke movement in Denmark encompassed the years 1900 to 1925, roughly the period when Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau were popular in Europe. In harmony with the other European movements, Skønvirke was a reaction to over-industrialization and strove for a return to quality craftwork."
