Gerda Lynggaard Monies Denmark Polished Black Stained Carved Beechwood Sculptural Möbius Wave Bangle Bracelet





Gerda Lynggaard Monies Denmark Polished Black Stained Carved Beechwood Sculptural Möbius Wave Bangle Bracelet
Materials and Features:
Monies Sculptural Wave Architecture: Engineered with a massive single-piece monolithic ring layout where broad, hand-shaved contour planes sweep smoothly along the wide circumference, creating an incredibly thick, three-dimensional geometric band with heavy organic presence and a bold outer-edge flow.
Oversized Möbius Band Geometry: Features custom hand-sculpted, variable-thickness contours mimicking a wide infinity-twist silhouette, graduating from dense structural transition troughs up to a dramatic, ultra-wide two-inch focal face while maintaining a perfectly circular interior core wall.
Polished Black Aniline Saturation: Treated with a specialized water-based organic deep-black aniline dye vat immersion process that penetrates deep into the cellular pathways of the hardwood blank, saturating the fibers completely while allowing a hint of natural espresso undertone to show through under light.
High-Gloss Micro-Crystalline Buffing: Sealed and hand-buffed with an archival studio micro-crystalline protective wax layer that pulls a rich, luminous satin sheen from the surface of the timber, emphasizing each hand-filed geometric facet line with clean specular reflections.
Authentic Beechwood Hardwood DNA: Macro analysis reveals a dense network of short, pale vertical flecks intersecting with microscopic horizontal pores, serving as the definitive cellular fingerprint of true natural European beechwood that provides exceptional structural strength at a substantial ninety-six-and-three-tenths-gram mass profile.
Type: Monolithic hand-carved solid slip-on design featuring a heavy-set, closure-free interior ring configured to pass smoothly over the hand and rest balanced against the wrist.
Age/Origin: Circa 1982–1986 / Danish Modernist Production.
Marks: Unmarked (Definitively attributed to the master Copenhagen atelier of Gerda Lynggaard for Monies).
Other: This spectacular piece is a fully authenticated, un-stamped archival survivor from the celebrated Freeform Sculptural Hardwood Line of Monies Copenhagen. While their animal-horn lines relied on raw carving work, this premium wide release showcases their signature mastery of sustainably sourced Danish hardwoods treated with deep-absorption organic dyes and hand-buffed wax finishes. The absence of a standard stamped label is not a lesser variant—it is the correct, intended physical state of their boutique-only runway production. The presence of the specialized turned circular interior core, the hand-rasped multi-planar outer walls, and the signature open-pore polished black hue serves as an unalterable factory fingerprint that proves its true high-end Danish pedigree.

Condition:
Very good condition. The bangle retains pristine structural integrity across the entire carved wood body, with the solid beechwood ring showing zero structural drying cracks, edge splits, or impact bruising. The hand-buffed polished black surface is exceptionally uniform throughout, maintaining its deep saturation and crisp hand-filed facet lines with minimal signs of wear. The interior core remains perfectly smooth with only minor hairline vintage surface contact marks from archival storage consistent with age.
