A stunning David Andersen, Norway, leaf brooch. White pearl enamel, silver gilt. The 'w' indicate designer: Willy Winnaess (active 1950s). All clearly marked on the underside. The pin & clasp predates the roll-over designs and thus this piece is pre-1960s.
Weight 8.4 g
Size:7cm.
Condition: No issues. It's perfect, gold gilt over 925 sterling silver. It's rare to find them in this untouched state! They tend to be polished down to silver. It has been in my collection for a long time and I've rarely cleaned it. Cleaning would bring it up beautifully but it also reduces the gilt cover. In truth it doesn't look tarnished in the flesh, it's just the camera lights that show everything. I do have high quality, non abrasive, gold cleaning cloths, should you require this cleaned before sending, please do request this, I will happily do so. Once clean, pop in an airtight bag, this prevents oxidization.
