The description of this item has been automatically translated. Norway around 1910: Antique hair comb with plique-à-jour enamel, silver Marius Hammer. Fabulous, antique comb by Marius Hammer with plique-à-jour enamel, Norway around 1910. In 1905 Norway broke away from the medieval union with its Scandinavian neighboring countries and became independent. A strong national romantic movement and the return to its own history gave the young nation a cultural bloom. In the area of jewelry production, the traditional and varied folk costumes, known as bunaders, influenced the country’s goldsmiths in particular. As in the area of traditional costumes, the newly created jewelry was mainly made of silver and often using the technique of filigree. The present unusual hair comb comes from this environment and is a particularly beautiful example of typical Norwegian jewelry. It also comes from one of the most important Norwegian goldsmiths of the beginning of the century, Marius Hammer. Born in Bergen in 1847, Hammer opened his workshop in 1871, which existed until 1927. Hammer was a contemporary of Faberge and is now one of the most important Scandinavian goldsmiths. The present hair comb is made of horn, the warm chestnut shade of which goes wonderfully with Allen hair colors. As a showpiece, the hair ornament presents a large decorative element made of silver wires, which are filled with elaborate plique-à-jour enamel. The technique, reminiscent of colored church windows, shows intertwined leaf ornaments that form a successful synthesis of Norwegian folk art and Art Nouveau. Hairstyle jewelry is very rare today. In the 19th and early 20th In the 19th century, however, when women’s hair was often pinned into large updos, these pieces of jewelry were what made a jewelry set complete.

Hofer antique jewelry arose from the joy of beautiful things. It all started with my grandma, who was a lady who liked to adorn herself. She could tell something about each of her pieces of jewelery and when she opened her jewelery box, a world opened up: fond memories and touching stories connected with the pieces marked the highlights of a lived life. Based on these experiences, over the years a passion grew in me to deal with these small and always very personal objects. Our range has grown steadily over the past few years.
