Renowned for their metal work, Scandinavian designers set the standard for modern mid-century pewter & silver jewelry. Pin this floral brooch onto a black turtleneck sweater for a very modernist look.

The pin is marked "Narke" which is a town in Sweden, as well as the Swedish word for the cowslip flower. The flower on the brooch is clearly a cowslip. Very cool! The pin also has a markers mark "B.T. Sweden" and has the look of a Tennesmed piece.

This lovely pin will come in the gift box shown in photograph 4.

Condition: The pin is in good condition. There is a scratch on the back near the makers mark. The pin back shows oxidation. It could be cleaned but I will leave it to you. The very tip of the pin point has a slight curve to it. I'm not sure if this is original or not. The pin works just fine and is very secure.

Measurements: 1 3/4" x 1 1/2"

Vintage miniature rustic wood desk, this wonderful piece of furniture was handmade for a dollhouse. The desk has 5 working drawers, numerous cubby holes, and 3 handmade books. The middle desk drawer has some aged sheets of paper in it that look like antique stationery.

The "little girl" is grown, and during her downsizing sale, she sold a few precious pieces of her grandfather's handmade dollhouse furniture. I bought all the miniatures she was selling.

Condition: Desk is in good condition, but was a child's toy and shows wear. All the drawers work. The middle desk drawer sags a bit.

Measurements: 4 7/8" tall x 4 1/2" wide x 3 1/8" deep.
