Description
This pendant carries a double attribution: Erik Dennung as designer, Buch & Deichmann as the retail house that commissioned or sold it. That kind of pairing was common in mid-century Danish design, a working designer producing pieces under a retailer’s name or in direct collaboration with them.
It’s worth understanding this distinction, since it changes what you’re actually looking at. A piece like this tells you something about the wider commercial structure of Danish design retail at the time.
Why this matters for dating and provenance. A dual attribution like this is often easier to research than a purely independent workshop mark, since it ties the piece to a known retail house with its own records.
What to look for. Both marks, designer and retailer, should be present and legible, exactly as they are here.
This piece was part of a small, genuinely personal collection of mid-century and antique jewellery, gathered over years rather than acquired for resale. It has since sold.
