Item Description
When it comes to wire Silvers, there may be no better or more classic locality than Kongsberg. This historic mining district dates back nearly 400 years, and produced some of the most impressive and recognizable specimens of wire Silver in the world. This particular specimen hosts attractive aesthetic "wire"-esque groups of Silver on matrix. It's a nice reference piece, and would make a great addition to a native element suite, a miniature reference collection, or a collection of European classics. From the Rich Kosnar collection.
