Georg Jensen Bracelet with Amber
DETAIL
Georg Jensen Bracelet with Amber, known as a 'Paris Design' Design No. 30 Size: Length 8” (20.2 cm) with safety catch Designed by: Georg Jensen in Paris 1925-6
Date of Manufacture: Post 1945
Price: £2,200
Note: In late 1924 Georg Jensen, then aged 58, decided to move to Paris to re-start his workshop in an effort to recreate the early days of his career. He was disillusioned at the way his company based in Denmark had been taken out of his hands, and he felt he no longer had any real influence on its direction.
He took 5 silversmiths with him to set up his workshop in Paris. However, the venture was short lived and in 1926 he returned to Copenhagen. Whilst in Paris he made some large pieces of holloware, including 2 wine coolers which were eagerly snapped up by his customers.  He also made some jewellery, now known as his 'Paris Designs'. 
This bracelet is a stunning piece of Georg Jensen's work. His fanatical attention to detail and ability to bring the silver 'alive' is clearly evident in this beautiful bracelet. The warm glow of the amber perfectly complements the cool tones of the silver. This piece is without doubt an heirloom for future generations.

Georg Jensen Brooch with Synthetic Sapphires and Moonstone drops.

Designed by: Georg Jensen c. 1915
Date of Manufacture: Post 1945
Price: £1,950
Note: A large number of Jensen's jewellery designs have remained popular through the years since they were introduced and some are still in production today. Georg Jensen's attention to detail, such as the surface patina and clasp detail, are indications of his superior workmanship. This unusual brooch, design no. 153, is reminiscent of a peacock's flowing tail and head feathers. Many pieces could be ordered either in all silver or with different stones. Another version of this brooch with green cabouchons is on page 93 of Janet Drucker's book, ‘Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver' (Schiffer).

Ref: HUD 234 (Bracelet), 235 (Ring) & 236 (Brooch).

Note: This is a set of the famous Georg Jensen 'Dove' design with Green Onyx cabouchons.  The set has come from Denmark and is purportedly have been owned by a niece of Arno Malinowski.  (There is no documentary evidence to support this and, as the earliest date the set could have been manufactured is 1933, it would have been purchased just before Georg Jensen died in 1935).  However, the marks on the bracelet are unusual in that the 'GJ' has been stamped twice on the bracelet.  I feel it is important that this set stay together if possible.

Note: This lovely moonstone and silver bracelet & necklace set, names the 'Seed & Pod' design, is a beautiful example of Georg Jensen's work.  He gained his inspiration from the flora & fauna of the countryside around the town of Radvad where he was born in 1866 and grew up.  He spent his formative years playing in the woods and fields surrounding his home.  As a little boy he made models out of the mud he found when playing, and these gained him much praise, so his career as a sculptor and silversmith was begun.
He was able to breathe life into inaminate materials and made them into his own unique works of art.  These are now loved and admired all over the world.
