Georg Jensen truly loved silver, obvious in the poetic way he spoke of it. He found it “obstinate, [so] it has to be conquered. . . . . It has the wonderful moonlight luster . . . can seem like twilight or, when it dews over, like ground mist rising.” 

The Company was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark about 1904. 

In 1927, Georg decreed that only sterling silver would be used,

 a clear-cut way for his collectors to date some of his early pieces.

Georg died in October 1935. He has always been hailed as one of the “greatest craftsmen in silver in the last 300 years.” He was blessed with skill, artistic sensibility and a love of innovation. 

Today, Georg Jensen, Inc. is owned by Royal Copenhagen, a Danish manufacturer of porcelain products founded in Copenhagen in 1775. Georg would be gratified to know Royal Copenhagen continues his legacy of excellence.
