Marius Hammer was a highly skilled Norwegian metalsmith widely known for the use of enameling in his workshop. His workshop produced a variety of jewelry and decorative items, most of which were crafted of sterling silver. These items were popular with tourists visiting Norway. Among the most desirable for collectors today are Art Nouveau designs with and without enameling.Marius Hammer (1847-1927), third-generation hereditary jeweler, son of Lauritz Hammer (1812-1874), lived and worked in Bergen (Norway). Marius trained in the craft in Hamburg and Berlin before establishing his own workshop in Bergen in 1871. The workshop produced a wide range of tableware and cutlery, as well as jewelry. From around 1880, he specialized in modern versions of traditional Norwegian jewelry, as well as plique-à-jour stained-glass enamel silverware. Marius retired in 1915, but the firm continued until 1930 under his sons Thorolf and Max. Marius Hammer’s work is housed in many renowned museums, including the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Unpacked weight including box: 8.1 oz. (avoirdupois, not troy) Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
