A pewter, partly gilt necklace, Svenskt Tenn, Stockholm 1940's.
Length ca 43,5 cm.
Estrid Ericson began during World War II when material shortages prevailed, making jewelry in pewter. She took inspiration from all her travels and created jewelry by making castings in pewter of flowers, ropes, buds, buttons or as in this piece, different kind of seeds.
The idea was quite right in the time when "Costume Jewellry" was the highest fashion, even internationally. The so-called 'Etruscan necklace' that Estrid designed after a trip to Rome in the 1930's is sold even today at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Interior architect and designer Estrid Ericson founded, together with Nils Fougstedt, the company Firma Svenskt Tenn in 1924. Initially, they designed innovative pewter objects and employed designers such as Björn Trägårdh, Uno Åhrén, Anna Petrus, and Tyra Lundgren. In 1927, Svenskt Tenn moved to Strandvägen in Stockholm, expanding its business to homewares, furniture, and textiles. During the first years, Åhrén and Trägårdh designed the furniture at Firma Svenskt Tenn. Still, this era ended when Estrid began her successful collaboration with Austrian architect Josef Frank in the early 1930s. Estrid Ericson had a unique position within interior design and drew inspiration from her many trips abroad.
