Mid Century Enamel Brooch Details
This David Andersen Norway sterling silver enamel brooch represents Autumn from the celebrated Four Seasons series, designed by Torbjørn Lie-Jørgensen in 1959. Executed in warm amber, ochre, honey, and deep brown enamel, the composition captures the restrained lyricism of Scandinavian Modernism—abstracted yet unmistakably seasonal.
Geometric panels interlock with stylized organic forms, a hallmark of mid-century Norwegian enamel work. The enamel sits within a hand-worked sterling framework, its subtle surface texture adding depth and movement as the light shifts. Elegant in scale, the brooch wears beautifully on a lapel, knit, or tailored jacket.
The reverse is clearly hallmarked D-A / 925S / NORWAY / STERLING, confirming authenticity and period production. A refined example of postwar Nordic design, this piece balances artistry, craftsmanship, and wearability—everything collectors seek in David Andersen enamel.

ABOUT DAVID ANDERSEN JEWELRY
About David Andersen
The Beginning
David Andersen (1843–1901) launched his namesake jewelry company in Oslo, Norway (then Christiania) in 1876. As a master goldsmith and entrepreneur, he quickly earned a reputation for crafting high-quality silver and enamel jewelry known for its Nordic elegance.
The Son Takes Over
After David’s death in 1901, his son Arthur Andersen took the helm. Arthur expanded the company’s international reach and modernized production, turning David Andersen into one of Norway’s most prominent jewelry houses. Throughout the 20th century, the firm became especially famous for its intricate guilloché enamel work.
Mid-Century Prominence
By the 1950s, the company embraced the clean lines and organic shapes of Scandinavian modernism. This blue enamel set reflects that era’s spirit—bold, refined, and endlessly collectible.
Nature motifs, such as leaves and petals, were especially beloved during this era, symbolizing freshness and simplicity. This set, with its sculptural lines and brilliant blue, is a classic example of the postwar shift toward organic forms and refined craftsmanship.
 Andersen collaborated with some of Scandinavia’s most influential designers, allowing individual artistic voices to shape the firm’s celebrated enamel and silver jewelry. Notable collaborators include Torbjørn Lie-Jørgensen, known for the modernist Four Seasons series; Nora Gulbrandsen, a pioneer of Scandinavian modern design; Harry Sørby, whose richly colored enamels defined the postwar era; and Willy Winnaess, an early figure in Andersen’s transition toward modern decorative arts. Together, these designers helped establish David Andersen as a cornerstone of Norwegian modernism.
HOW TO CARE FOR VINTAGE JEWELRY
How to Care for Vintage Jewelry
Always handle vintage jewelry gently and store it carefully between wearings. Keep each piece in a soft pouch or lined box to prevent scratches, tangling, or metal abrasion. Avoid contact with water, perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull finishes or weaken settings. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away oils and dust. For metals and stones, use a mild, non-abrasive jewelry cleaner suited to the materials. Never submerge rhinestone or glued pieces in water or use ultrasonic cleaners, as moisture can damage the foil backing or loosen stones. With proper care, your vintage jewelry will retain its beauty and character for years to come.
