Norwegian-Norway Nils og Blåmann Brooch - Silver 830 Shepherd Antique Norway Pin
Located in Greensboro, NC
Add to your collection with this beautiful vintage brooch! Crafted in Norway, this piece is fashioned in 830S grade silver and measures a generous 2 ½ inches in diameter. The image showcased in the center of the brooch is an image of the Norwegian character Nils Og Blamann. Dressed for a summer trek, he is wearing a vest over a long-sleeved shirt and cut-off breeches. A traditional hat is tilted over his shoulder-length locks, and he is carrying an alphorn and a knapsack. Posed with one bare foot up on a ledge and the other on the ground, Nils Og Blamann is shown with a hand up to his brow as if he is scanning the hills ahead. He is accompanied by a long-horned chamois goat whose magnificent body is beautifully detailed in textured sterling silver. The open cut-work background gives the images a wonderful 3-D effect. Adding lovely visual interest, an ornate frame formed from swirls and flourishes of sterling silver encircles the brooch. The brooch fastens from the back with a long bar and hook clasp. The back of the brooch contains a 830 S stamp that verifies the silver composition. This piece is in great condition and has not been polished in order to preserve its valued vintage...

1941 ChanelRelevant American Reinad ArtDecoStyle Silver PolkaDot LargeBow Brooch
By Reinad
Located in Chicago, IL
In Spring 1941 after French fashion couturier Gabriel "Coco" Chanel had stopped production of her clothing designs while she remained in Europe during the WWII era, the decades-old American costume-jewelry company Reinad began imprinting pieces in its new retail line, Chanel Novelty Co, with the script signature "Chanel". As this was prior to the use of the sans-serif capital-letter signature "CHANEL" on French-made jewelry that was commissioned by the Parisian designer, as well as before U.S.-copyright protection began in 1955, the House of Chanel that was mostly owned by the Jewish Wertheimer family of venture capitalists (who remarkably still produced Parfums CHANEL and French-vineyard wine via legal proxy while they lived in asylum in The States during the war) filed a U.S. lawsuit to demand that Reinad halt the use of its founder's famous last name.
As the Werthheimers' quickly won, Reinad only produced the single seasonal collection stamped with the French brand name, and subsequently only imprinted its company name as the sans-serif capital-letter signature "REINAD" without a copyright symbol, which was different that its prior signatures dating back to its founding in 1922. When Chanel herself resumed French-made fashion production in Paris in 1953 (with Werthheimer support leading to their acquisition of all rights to her name despite her post-war eight-year exile in Switzerland due to close association with Nazis), for the first time all of her creations were signed "CHANEL" like the original packaging of the exceedingly profitable "No.5" perfume.
While Reinad continued to produced costume jewelry until 1954, in the last decade of this business, the U.S. company continued to try to appeal to potential Chanel buyers by at least making Chanel-style designs. As such, owning an attractive and well-made Reinad piece can be considered a useful investment in fashion history as evidence of a little-known turning-point involving the most famous ongoing luxury-fashion business Chanel, as well as of the impact of that legal judgement had on advancing U.S. design protection for brands that later used the copyright symbol.
Like early ArtDeco-style oversized heavy metallic costume jewelry by Chanel, this three-dimensional monochrome silver-alloy polkadot bow brooch imitates a pale polkadot-textured ribbon. Notably, while high-quality ribbon for styling hair or decorating clothing in a non-functional way was still an expensive accessory...
