Superb sterling abstract modernist biomorphic brooch designed by Henning Koppel in 1947 for Georg Jensen. Brooch is solid sterling silver and quite hefty and features rich shades of Navy and Royal blue guilloche enamel inlay. Enamel is fully intact, damage free, crisp, shiny and bright. Please excuse the lines or reflections, as it's extremely shiny and hard to photograph. Included with purchase are 2 converters so it can be worn as a pendant on a chain if preferred. I have not had the brooch professionally polished but it can be upon request at time of purchase.
The 3rd picture is of the brooch on a page in the book, "Georg Jensen Jewelry" by The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts. Design, and Culture, New York. Yale University Press, New Haven and London. It features this brooch and the 3 others in the set that Henning Koppel designed for Georg Jensen in 1947.
