Arrow pointing left enclosed in an oval of dots [Hestenes\' maker\'s mark]
This cross pendant is by the master silversmith Kristian M. Hestenes (b. 1873-d. 1928 although the business continued to be run by family members after his death of Bergen, Norway, one of the \"name\" silversmiths of Norwegian 20th century silver jewelry. The Art Noveau-inspired nature of cross suggests it is perhaps early 20th century (1900s-1930s, predating the Mid Century Modern movement). Even for its age, its ornateness is unusual; Norwegians have for the most part been Lutherans almost since the days of Martin Lutheran and most Norwegian made crosses reflect the plain streamlined style commonly preferred in the Lutheran denomination.The pendant is 1 1/2\" ( 33 mm) wide and 1 15/16\" in height, excluding the bail which is an additional 10mm long ( and 3mm deep), which can accommodate a wide variety of chains. All measurements are approximate. Condition: Wonderful vintage condition. This would make a wonderful gift for someone special for Christmas, birthday, First Communion, Confirmation or any other occasion.Please read the following carefully:Like all vintage items, at least some very light age related wear is to be expected. This pendant has some patina that highlights the high quality of the silver chasing (hand engraving). It has some super fine age related wear scratches but the result is a satin finished look instead of a high reflective one (you would really need a jeweler\'s loupe to see the individual scratches). There is also a small dimple on the back at the top of the cross. Overall it is in very good vintage and very gift-able condition!This item is from a smoke free home. See condition description above and study all the pictures that form part of the description. Please ask any questions before buying!
