Avant-garde ERIK DENNUNG Danish 1970s Art Nouveau Style shops Silver Plated Medusa BROOCH ~ 3-1/4" Long ~ Astonishing Collector Find!

Mythic Femme Fatale …

Sultry and seductive. Wondrous and one of a kind. Art to wear and showcase worthy. This rare brooch by Danish designer Erik Dennung is not only a marvel of metal sculpture, but it shops also marks a major departure from the artist's brutalist and abstract modernist themes. In a style drawn from Art Nouveau romanticism, and a motif taken from ancient Greek mythology, Dennung delivers a startling depiction of Medusa, in hand-cast silver plate. Here, with an undulating nest of snakelike hair and a curvaceous torso that transmutes into a serpent's body, the ancient Gorgon monster nonetheless becomes a creature of bewitching beauty, in the skillful hands of Erik Dennung. It is a fabulous jewelry adornment and exceptional, mid-20th-century Scandinavian collectible.

HALLMARKS: DENNUNG, Made in Denmark. DIMENSIONS: 3-1/4" x 1". WEIGHT: 12.7 grams. CONDITION: Excellent to superior vintage condition, eminently wearable and collectible.
