Georg Jensen
Georg Jensen (1866–1935) was one of Denmark's most celebrated silversmiths and designers.
After establishing his Copenhagen workshop in 1904, Jensen developed a distinctive approach to silverware combining exceptional craftsmanship with influences from Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts and Scandinavian design.
The company subsequently worked with numerous important designers and became internationally recognised for its jewellery, hollowware, flatware and decorative silver.
Today, vintage Georg Jensen silver is collected throughout the world and is particularly admired for its combination of Danish craftsmanship and timeless modern design.
Danish Design
Denmark became one of the most important centres of modern European design during the 20th century.
Danish designers placed particular emphasis on simplicity, functionality, craftsmanship and beautifully proportioned forms.
Georg Jensen played an important role in establishing this reputation internationally, with the firm's silver pieces becoming synonymous with sophisticated Scandinavian design.
Model 898
This example carries the Georg Jensen model number 898.
Model numbers are particularly useful when identifying and collecting Georg Jensen silver, allowing individual designs to be traced within the firm's extensive catalogue.
The clearly identified 898 designation makes this an appealing piece for specialist Georg Jensen collectors as well as collectors of vintage Danish silver.
