Description from the seller

Hans Hansen – Model 113 – Bent Gabrielsen – Sterling silver Modernist “Boomerang” brooch – Denmark ca. 1960

A highly collectible authentic modernist design brooch from the renowned Danish silversmith Hans Hansen, crafted in solid sterling silver. This iconic model 113 is attributed by specialized Scandinavian silver dealers to the renowned Danish designer Bent Gabrielsen, who worked for Hans Hansen from 1949 and grew to become one of the leading representatives of Scandinavian modernism.

The brooch is characterized by an elegant, asymmetric boomerang- or wing-shaped form with flowing organic lines. The minimalist design perfectly reflects the design philosophy of Danish design from the 1950s and 1960s: simplicity, refinement and a sculptural vocabulary. Through the subtle curvature and high-gloss finish, a beautiful play of light and shadow emerges, giving the brooch a different appearance from every angle.

On the back, the brooch is fully marked with:

* Hans Hansen
* DENMARK
* 925S (sterling silver)
* Model number 113

This establishes the authenticity of the piece beyond doubt.

Hans Hansen from Kolding is among the most influential Danish silversmith houses of the twentieth century. The designs from this period are internationally beloved by collectors for their timeless appearance, exceptional quality, and museum-like form. Model 113 is today a sought-after collectible and is offered only occasionally.
