A pretty silver and enamel brooch by Marius Hammer (1847 \u2013 1927). Hammer was The son of Master Goldsmith, Lauritz Hammer. He was born in the town of Bergen, Norway and worked there until his death in 1927. Hammer was the third generation in his family of craftsmen. He trained in his father\u2019s workshop but set his sights on doing more than running a small workshop like his father and grandfather had done before him.
\nDuring his studies in Hamburg and Berlin, Germany, he saw new techniques and production methods. He employed these soon after his return to Bergen. This helped the family\u2019s shop grow and, in a few years, become the largest in Bergen. In 1885, the Hammer firm became court provider to the Prince of Wales.
\nMarius Hammer was one of the most important silversmiths in Norway. A contemporary of Faberg\u00e9, Marius Hammer became world famous for its enamel work. This brooch is typical of his work with translucent enamel and roses.
\nMarius Hammer jewelry is highly sought after because of its delicate beauty and fine craftsmanship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
