N.M Thune Wedding Parade Brooch, Sterling Silver Norwegian Pin

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...
