Antique Norwegian Sterling Silver Bracelet – Opro Style Dogwood Panels
Origin: Norway
Material: Solid sterling silver (830S or 925 typical for the maker)
Maker Attribution: Style strongly suggests Opro (Østern-Pedersen), known for mid-century silverwork with floral and lattice motifs
Design:
Seven rectangular panels with raised dogwood-style flowers
Diamond crosshatch / lattice background with oxidized recesses for contrast
Softly beveled edges and handmade connecting links
Length: 6 3/4" wearable length
Width: Just under 3/4" wide
Clasp: Integrated box clasp typical of Norwegian production from the period
Condition: Excellent antique condition with natural patina and mild oxidation that emphasizes detail
Era & Style Notes:
This bracelet is likely from the 1930s to 1950s, when Norwegian silversmiths produced handwrought jewelry influenced by both folk traditions and early modernist styling. Dogwood and rosette motifs were common symbols of nature, love, and renewal.
Why It Stands Out:
Substantial silver panels with crisp relief work
Oxidized finish highlights the hand-engraved texture
Highly collectible Norwegian silverwork, especially from makers like Opro, David Andersen, J.Tostrup, and Hroar Prydz
