Arno Malinowski worked at the Georg Jensen Silversmithy from 1936-1944 and again from 1949-65. He gained his artistic inspiration from Japanese art for many of his designs and this can be clearly seen. The “Butterfly” brooch has become a classic among his designs, along with the “Kneeling Deer” brooch.
Arno Malinowski became famous for his design of the royal emblem, the 'Kongemaeket', which was designed for His Majesty King Christian Xth of Denmark to celebrate his 70 th birthday on September 26 th , 1940. The Jensen firm sold 1.3 million pieces of this emblem and wearing it became a badge of the resistance and unity for the Danish people during the war.

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.
