About the Item

An enameled modernist necklace designed by Volmer Bahner (1912-1995). This is a fabulous geometric necklace, created in Denmark by Volmer Bahner, back in the 1970. The necklace has been crafted with modernist patterns in solid .925/.999 sterling silver with high polished finish and embellished with engine turned guilloche designs and topped with applications of blue glass enamels. The necklace is composed by forty-three geometric dangles elements and is fitted with a toggle security lock. A gorgeous colorful piece in perfect condition. Volmer Bahner Volmer Bahner was a multi-disciplined Danish artist, and designer was born in Frederica, Denmark and was a pupil of Utzon Frank. He graduated from the Industrial Arts and Crafts College in 1930 and received several scholarships and awards. Known early on for his realistic busts on wooden pedestals, his many sculptural works were seen in various exhibitions. Many of his works are represented at the Kunstindustrimuseet, the Danish Museum of Art and Design. Bahner created many works in bronze and ceramic including a Female Head (Bronze Bust 1937); Female Head (1938, fired clay, Maribo Museum), and Sports Girl (1937). His portrait busts include a bronze bust of Princess Helena. Volmer Bahner is also known for his modernist and naturalist inspired, enameled silver jewelry designs that he created and manufactured in his own silver workshop after World War II. A nature lover, Bahner drew inspiration from the flowers and plants of the Denmark countryside. From 1962-1988, Volmer Bahner was Denmark’s best-known specialist, enamel company. Their designs are considered innovative, especially for the beautiful guilloche enamel floral pieces such as the calla lily, which was made in several colors including blue, white, and deep red. The design was used for brooches, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Bahner also produced simple, non-figurative designs in the Art Deco style. The most recognizable Volmer Bahner designs are the hearts and animal motifs, including fish and butterflies. These were made in different configurations for different body parts. Many were specifically designed as presents for young girls so the rings, bracelets and necklaces are often quite small. Bahner's mark is his initials VB, accompanied by STERLING, DENMARK. His work is also occasionally associated with the company Christgau whose creations sometimes bear his mark. Weight: 74.20 Grams, (47.60 Dwt). Size: 16 Inches, (40.64 Cm). Measurements: The larger links are 10 mm by 32 mm (0.40 x 1.26 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark associated to Volmer Bahner, the mark for the assay of the silver and signed as follow: "DENMARK STERLING VB". Collateral: This necklace is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box. Condition: The overall condition of this Volmer Bahner necklace is impeccable. Besides the little normal wear, there is no damage to the silver. All parts are secured in their settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.

I live and work in Orvieto, where I was born. From the beauty of the places that surround me I draw the destination for art and creativity.
