Item Description
An upright aborescent nest of dense and curled silver wires with a beautiful, varied burnished patina. The "eye" at the tip and the large "C" are super highlights and it looks great from either side. It looks like Kongsberg, but it's not and comes at a much lower price point. This aesthetic piece is from the early 1990s finds from the from the Dzhezkazgan Mine of Kazakhstan. No more have been forthcoming, since that time. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb had this priced at $500, five or more years ago. A piece of this quality is valued today at $1000-1250.
