Ivar T. Holth | Nordic Scenes Bracelet — Hand-Painted Guilloche Enamel, Vermeil Sterling Silver | Norway | Mid-Century

A rare and exquisite piece of Scandinavian artisanship. This Ivar T. Holth bracelet is a wonderful example of the celebrated Norwegian silversmithing tradition — hand-painted guilloche enamel set into vermeil sterling silver, each panel depicting charming Nordic scenes that feel both timeless and deeply evocative of the region.

Guilloche enamel is a painstaking technique: the silver is first engine-turned with an intricate pattern, then carefully layered with translucent enamel by hand — a process that gives each piece its distinctive luminous depth. No two are ever quite identical.

Mid-century Scandinavian silver of this quality is increasingly sought after by collectors worldwide, and Ivar T. Holth pieces are among the finest produced in Norway during that era. A genuinely special find.
