Forgotten Masters of Scandinavian Enamel Jewelry - (Hardcover) by Lois E Olson & Dwight C Olson (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The book, Forgotten Masters of Scandinavian Enamel Jewelry focuses on 38 master Scandinavian workshops/companies of enamel from 1860 -1960, when enamel became one of the most prestigious emerging fields of art world-wide. At the Saint Louis World's Fair of 1904, Norway's enamel masters received awards in enameling art surpassing even their Russian counterparts, yet surprisingly, those Scandinavian enamel master artisans faded into oblivion, their histories lost in out-of-print books, and dusty archives until now.

- Clarity and ease of readability

This is a forever book!

Marianne Ellefsen, collector, and eBay seller

I use the book every day. It is a treasure for me as a collector and eBay seller. It is unique, nothing like it exists.

Cynthia Haynes, Professor Emerita of Rhetoric, Communication, Clemson University

Northern Lights is meticulously researched. The breadth of knowledge about Norwegian enamel artisans makes this a fascinating read! The images are beautiful.

Ole Petter Rasch-Olsen - Founder OPRO, goldsmith

It is undoubtedly the best 'encyclopedia' yet about the enamel industry. I have been a goldsmith for more than 54 years and I still found lots of new information. It's so good I bought two copies!

Duncan Cornell Card, Esq.

The definitive survey on Scandinavian enamel art, a subject that has been extremely neglected except for very well-informed collectors and curators.
