The "Fuchsia" or
Klokke" Art Nouveau pattern was designed by Georg Jensen himself in the
year 1906. 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" when he passed.
