6 Norwegian Modernist Enamel Sterling Silver Candlesticks N.M.Thune Viking Norse

About the Item

This is an extraordinary rare museum quality set of six Mid-Century Modern Enamel Candlesticks made by the Norwegian maker N.M. Thune of Norway. Along with the six candlesticks is a matching vase. Each is adorned with magnificent enamel images with depictions of medieval Norse Mythology and Viking imagery. The colors and design are mid-century magnificence. The very rare group of candlesticks is made by the esteemed maker N.M Thune who are renowned for their beautiful silver work adorned with enamel. The candlesticks are extremely rare. The candlesticks are hallmarked Thune 925S. We also have a set of four large candlesticks by Thune with similar Viking imagery available from the same estate - I have included a photo of these as well. Pieces by N.M Thune are rare and highly desirable as objects of Mid-Century Modern design. Their use of silver and enamel is of the highest quality and their designs based on antique Scandinavian motifs are particularly wonderful. The bold use of the enamel colors is particularly striking. The candlesticks are 3 1/4 inches (8.3 cm) tall. The vase is 3 inches tall. There is some loss to the enamel on the pieces. Please see the photos for the condition of the pieces.

Stanley George Morris Born 30 November 1919 Died 31 October 2010 Silversmith. Born in Handsworth, Birmingham. He was the son of the silversmith, James Morris who worked as an assistant to Georgie Gaskin between 1901-10. Stanley studied at the Vittoria Street School for Jewellers and Silversmiths and the Central School of Art under Bernard Cuzner. During the 1930s he was awarded the Messenger Prize, John Henry Chamberlain Silver medal prize, and two Goldsmiths Company Scholarships. Morris received early commissions from Bernard Cuzner, Cyrial Shiner, and for Birmingham Assay Office. Amongst these works were the Olympic Torch for the Goldsmiths Company to Bernard Cuzner’s design, which won them an honorary mention in the Olympic Arts Competition of the Olympiad 1948 and a Fluted Salt executed to Cyril Shiner’s design in 1951, commissioned by the Salters Company to mark the Festival of Britain. Over a lengthy career Morris executed many of his own designs for private, ceremonial and ecclesiastical silverware. Examples of his work were included in 'Birmingham Gold and Silver 1773-1973: an Exhibition celebrating the Bicentenary of the Assay Office', 28 July - 16 September 1973, Birmingham Art Gallery. These pieces included: Crozier 1938 (aged 17 unmarked) (which is now exhibited in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery); Wafer Box Octagonal 1939 (unmarked); Coffee Pot with ivory 1939 (makers mark); and Covered Bowl marked 1948 (lent by the Goldsmiths Company); and Wine Flagon...
