Item Description
Kongsberg silvers are some of the most desirable in world and this is a sculptural and aesthetic miniature with unusual form. The impressive curved broad rope, smaller wires and the striking, sharply casted flattened areas (after calcite rhombs?) with the embedded calcite are the highlights of this very nifty, two-sided and 3-dimensional piece. The luster is bright on the rope to a nearly matte finish. Classic and excellent Kongsberg silver. Valued at $2000 in a recent trade.
