Fantastic sterling silver brutalist style cuff by iconic Danish designer, Jacob Hull for Buch & Deichmann. Cuff has been hammered and strategically blackened giving it wonderful depth and warmth.

It is a stunning and monumental piece in excellent condition with no damage or condition issues. Will be professionally polished before shipping. 

This artist became famous in the early 1970s, when his work was exhibited internationally and was on sale in Illums Bolighus, the flagship retail outlet for Danish Design. He was a rolling stone, living around the country and also overseas (eg Finland). He was also a sculptor of some note, whose work was accepted at the annual Charlottenburg exhibition. Eventually he settled down on the peninsula of Djursland in Jutland, Denmark, and it was there he died in 1993, a victim of a fire at his house. He was saved from the blaze, but returned to rescue a vintage car, and did not emerge again.
Hull's jewellery can be divided into two categories. There are original one-off pieces which he created in solid silver, and which command very high prices, running into thousands of pounds, and secondly, there are the silver-plated pieces, many of which were created for Buch + Deichmann, and which thus also bear their stamp. Everything was hand-made at Hull's own workshop, but to meet the demand for some of the more popular B + D pieces, he employed an assistant to produce these.
