Pamono Antique Silver Gilt and Enamel Viking Ship Brooch by Gustav Gaudernack, 19th Century> Brooches

Decorative Miniature 19th Century Silver Gilt & Enamel Viking Ship Brooch, Signed Gustav Gaudernack A once-in-a-lifetime acquisition for the serious collector of fine jewellery and Scandinavian art history.

This rare original silver-gilt and enamel Viking ship pendant brooch is the work of Gustav Gaudernack (1865–1914), Norway’s most celebrated Art Nouveau master goldsmith. Exquisitely detailed, distinctly hallmarked, and initial-signed on the reverse, this piece exemplifies the extraordinary craftsmanship and design language that made Gaudernack internationally renowned.

Dimensions: 2 cm wide × 1 cm high × 0.7 cm deep. Material: Handmade in 925 Norwegian silver, gilt and enamel. Markings: Signed/initial-stamped by Gustav Gaudernack. Date: Circa late 19th century, 1890s. Presentation: Later fitted box included. Unlike Gaudernack’s more commonly seen flowing Art Nouveau jewels, this brooch draws inspiration from Nordic mythology and archaeological revival, making it an especially compelling piece for collectors interested in myth, history, and symbolism. The craftsmanship remains extraordinary even in miniature, with enamel work and detail that reveal the hand of a true master. Rare subject matter (Viking ship, mythology-inspired). Authenticated signature of Gustav Gaudernack.
