About the Item
This is a stunning brooch by Björn Weckström for Lapponia Jewelry, from the Space Series, the vintage modernist sculptural sterling silver Man and Child brooch is a very rare Lapponia piece.
This is a superb museum quality Lapponia brooch from Finland by Björn Weckström entitled Labyrinth. This brooch is part of the Space Series or Man From Mercury series began in 1969. The series features elegant sculpted water and landscapes with human figures lost or striving. They are reminiscent of dreams - so perhaps 'dreamscape' is a good description. This amazing modernist brooch depicts a man and a child standing in front of a cave like opening in a sweeping alien landscape. It is sculptural and graceful.
Founded in Finland in 1960, Lapponia has a team of international designers, but the most famous is Björn Weckström, who designed the first collection in 1963. His sculpture-like jewelry, is unique and spectacular and this is a stunning example of his work and truly evokes the Finnish landscape of snow and glaciers. The brooch has a mixture of soft textured surfaces and polished ridges that give it a sculptural richness. I've included images from all angles to capture the superb shapes.
Full hallmarking as follows: 925 & scales - Finland National Mark; crown within a heart - Helsinki city mark; W - makers mark; 925; Z8 - year 2001 and Lapponia. On the reverse, it secures with a trombone push safety clasp.
Dimensions are: 1 3/4 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide.
Weight is a substantial 27 grams.
This is a spectacular brooch from one of the most important jewelry designers working today and is a superb example of modernist Scandinavian design.
