Superb sterling silver bangle bracelet by NE From. Modernist in design, it features an bulbous oval shape on one half that slightly overlapping a concave oval shape that has been oxidized on the other half of the face. Hinged opening with safety clasp. It has recently been professionally polished and looks phenomenal. Please excuse the lines or reflections, as it's extremely shiny and hard to photograph.

Niels Erik From was born in Denmark in 1908 and trained as a silversmith. He opened a shop in 1931 from which he also sold some of his designs, but the N.E.From smithy is first registered in Nakskov in 1944. His son-in-law Hilmer Jensen joined the management team in 1960, and took over the firm in 1986 after Niels Erik's death. The company was wound up a few years later.
There are two distinct styles in the From production. The sinewy foliage and floral pieces were designed by Niels Erik From and characterise the early years of production, whereas the bold modernist pieces were introduced by another designer in his firm in the 1960s.
