Openwork Tortoise Brooches in Borre Style

    • Description

      These tortoise brooches are a delicate, single-piece version of Petersen type 51 in Borre style. I have modelled them as openwork, to keep them as fine and delicate as possible.

      They involve many hours of painstaking work. I have inlaid them with twisted sterling silver wire and riveted them with silver studs, finishing them with a strong steel pin.

      This type of brooch was the most widespread in the Viking Age, they have been found in every country where the Vikings settled. I have reduced the size of mine by about 20% to save weight and removed the back plate.

      I do not often get time to make this type, I only make a few pairs a year. I only make them in bronze, like the originals, with the contrasting colour of the silver inlay.

      The price is for the pair.

      Height 86mm

      good work

      my wife got these brooches from me 4 years ago at the wedding and was very happy about them. Since then she has been wearing the primers on the markets. Especially the work on the detail of the fibulae is remarkable.

      Thank you Christian
