Wiggers Handmade Denmark vintage jewelry
The history of the Danish jewelry company Wiggers covers a fairly short period of the 1960s. Perhaps this is the reason for the lack of information about the company and its founder. However, the Copenhagen-based company was a renowned manufacturer of tableware in teak. Early 1960s Wiggers made teak kitchenware for Copenhagen firm Illums Bolighus owned by Danish entrepreneur Kaj Dessau. Wiggers artisan teak kitchenware included salad bowls, ice buckets, pepper and salt stands, matchboxes, and other items. Sold at the most prestigious auctions, these items are now collectible.
In addition, the company produced high-quality handcrafted jewellery in a modernist and avant-garde style, dominated by geometric designs. Traditionally, the company’s craftsmen used silver, silver plated pewter, gold and metal alloys. Also, semi-precious stones – moss agate, amethyst, quartz, amber, carnelian, zircon, rock crystal and even rough natural stones that look like pebbles. The marking on the back of each item includes “Wiggers Handmade Denmark”, without the copyright mark.
Jewelry created by Scandinavian company Wiggers is rare and highly collectible.
