F. Dahl worked in Copenhagan and was one of a few 19th century Scandinavian jewellers to be inspired by discoveries in the 1850's of ninth and tenth century Viking ornaments and produced jewels emulating their designs which were known as the so-called 'Borre' style. Dahl exhibited at the 1862 International Exhibition in London and inspired British Jewellers such as Robert Phillips. C.f. Art Journal Illustrated catalogue, 1862, p.162.
