He founded the jewelers  firm 'J. Tostrup' in 1832 in Oslo. The firm made the original enameled insignia for the Order of St.  Olav, when the order was established in  1848 and later in 1883 it was put in charge of the whole  production. 'J. Tostrup' received  the title royal court jeweler, and Jacob Tostrup received the 'King’s  Medal of Merit' for his work as a goldsmith. Tostrup took on his granddaughter's husband Torolf  Prytz as a partner in 1884 and he became owner of the firm J. Tostrup after Jacob Tostrup's death. \r\n","physicalDescription":"Spoon, silver-gilt, the circular bowl decoirated with plique-à-jour enamels with a conventional scrolling spray of flowers and foliage.
