Peter Michael Blytt

Peter Michael Blytt is documented as a goldsmith in Bergen through objects in the National Museum of Norway. A pair of gold earrings is dated to the period 1790 to 1836 and attributed to him with the museum qualification that the attribution is assumed certain. The object is cast and soldered, includes filigree work and is classified as Empire style.

Collectors should distinguish a museum attribution from a securely identified responsibility mark. The date range of one object is not automatically a biographical period for the maker. Form, technique, provenance and legible marks should be assessed together before an object is connected with Blytt.
