Georg Jensen is one of
the world's most significant silversmiths, who formed an international
following due to his innovative and sculptural work and his collaborations with
other very talented designers. He started in Copenhagen as a sculptor and
goldsmith working his way into silversmithing. He was the first to blur lines
between artistry and craftsmanship with his ornamental design in the early
1900's. In 1904 her opened his first shop and quickly gained a following, with
those stating he "never followed fashion, he created it". In 1918 he
opened a much larger shop and when he passed in 1935 he already had an
international reputation for superb craftsmanship. He was reigned as "the
greatest silversmith of the last 300 years".
