About the Maker:
David Andersen (1843–1901) founded his namesake workshop in Oslo in the late 19th century, and it quickly became one of Norway’s most celebrated silversmithing firms. Known for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs, the company gained international recognition for its intricate enamel work during the 20th century. Pieces from the mid-century period, such as this brooch, are especially prized for their combination of traditional techniques and modernist aesthetics. The Andersen workshop often featured nature-inspired themes, with birds, leaves, and animals rendered in vivid enamel and precise silverwork.
