)
Note: Henning Koppel was hired by the Georg Jensen company in 1949.  By the early 1940's Nordic jewellers had embraced 'Biomorphism' Biomorphist art focuses on the power of natural life and uses organic shapes, with shapeless and vaguely spherical hints of the forms of biology. Biomorphism has connections with Surrealism and Art Nouveau .  Henning Koppel and the term 'Biomorphism' have come to be virually synonymous.  His advant guard designs caused much intra-company controversy but now examples of Henning's work have become icons of mid 20th century jewellery design

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

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.

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).

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.
