Henry Pilstrup was with Georg Jensen from the very beginning of his workshop and joined as an apprentice at the age of 14 in 1904. He worked his way up very quickly, executing a large part of the jewellery, and became foreman of the workshop. Henry Pilstrup was one of the principal designers of the early Jensen pieces.

The book mark and letter opener is an unusual piece and is not often available on the open market. This is a great opportunity to acquire a rare piece of Georg Jensen/Henry Pilstrup design
