Item Description
An adorable wire silver thumbnail from the historic mines at Kongsberg. Stout, intertwined, curled and curved silver ropes beautifully rise up from the solid matrix of silver wires. The piece has a fine mellow patina and I really like the way the wires are slightly separated, adding drama and a sculptural quality. It looks great from either side. Classic and excellent, old-time material from the Will Henderson Collection, a well-known, longtime mineral author and collector. He was formerly a columnist for the Mineralogical Record.
