Georg Jensen Bowl
(Louvre) Design No. 180B Size: 4 ¼” (11.4cm) High x 5 ½” (14.1cm) Diameter Weight: 10.5 troy oz. Designed by: Georg Jensen in 1912 Date of Manufacture: Post 1945 Price: £2,450 This is a gadron edged flared bowl resting on berry & leaf supports and has a stepped round foot. The bowl is a smaller version of the 'Louvre' bowl designed by Georg Jensen in 1912, and was acquired by the Louvre Museum in Paris. Georg Jensen went to live in Paris in 1925 taking 5 of his silversmiths with him with the intention of setting up his own workshop again in the hope of recreating his early days. He felt that his company had moved away from his high ideals of workmanship, style & craftsmanship. However, due to economic restrictions, the venture was not a success and he had to pack up and return to Denmark in 1926. During his time in Paris he won many prestigious awards for his work. Georg Jensen was a brilliant artist, but not a businessman. |

Georg Jensen Chocolate Spoon Design No. 21 Size: Length 5 3/8 th “ (13.5cm) Designed by Georg Jensen Date of Manufacture: 1909 – 1914 Price: £250 Georg Jensen designed this spoon at the beginning of the C20th. It is a perfect example of Georg Jensen's love of organic design and his wish to make ordinary functional objects into works of art. This spoon, with its graceful lines speaks a thousand words for the Master of Design who wanted to make the working world a beautiful place to be. Having started his working life as a 'grinder' in a knife factory at the age of 14, he was well aware of the grim conditions people could find themselves in for their daily lives. His art was his contribution to the fact that there was another beautiful world and his work served to remind them of this. |

These men, along with many others, recognised the great & unique talent of Georg Jensen. |

In the late 1920's and again between 1945-51, the mark ‘Georg Jensen & Wendel' appears on the production from Denmark . This beautiful piece typifies the talent and craftsmanship of Georg Jensen. |
