Estimate: £300–£400

A collection of silver jewellery, including a silver dress ring, by Georg Jensen, signed and numbered ‘89’, and a 20th century copy of a traditional Viking brooch, by David Andersen, together with a stylised silver bracelet, a silver wrapover band ring, a cabochon amethyst pendant and a cabochon amethyst set bar brooch, first ring size M1/2. £300-400

The first ring was designed for Georg Jensen by Henning Koppel (1918-1981), a highly original designer who, during the late 1940s and 1950s introduced bold abstract, sculptural forms to the Jensen repertoire.

The Viking brooch is part of the ‘Saga’ series produced by David Andersen in 1960s, which took its inspiration from Danish archaeological finds (300AD-1000AD) on display in the Oslo Museum.
