Niels Erik From - 925s Silver - Necklace with pendant

iels Erik From – Calla Lily / Arum Lily – Sterling silver pendant with silver chain – Denmark - 1960s-1970s Distinctive and characteristic Danish modernist necklace with a sculptural pendant by the renowned Danish silversmith Niels Erik From (N.E. From). The pendant features an elegant, organic form inspired by the Calla Lily (arum lily). The silver has been three-dimensionally formed into gracefully curved and folded surfaces, allowing the pendant to reveal a different set of lines from every angle. A pronounced example of the organic Scandinavian design for which Danish silversmiths of the mid-20th century are known. The pendant is clearly stamped with: FROM 925S This indicates the pendant is made in 925/1000 sterling silver and stamped by N.E. From. Also notable is the construction of the suspension. The pendant features a hinged safety clasp / secure pendant bail at the top. This forms a functional part of the design and makes it possible to attach the pendant safely to a suitable chain. The accompanying silver chain is separately stamped with 835, for 835/1000 silver, and also with a rectangular maker/brand mark containing two letters. Because the pendant and chain carry different silver contents and marks, the chain is not attributed to N.E. From and it cannot be determined that it was originally supplied with the pendant.
