Georg Jensen

Clearly in line with my adoration for Nambe, I present the iconic George Jensen.   The famed Danish silversmith and designer (b. 1866, d. 1935) became renowned for his Art Nouveau creations after opening his own operation in 1901.  Having studied with the famed Mogens Balin, the master of silversmithery at the time, Mr. Jensen's adherence to the ideals of artistry and design made for a wildly popular business beginning in the early 20th centruy and through the present.  Georg Jensen antiques and the modern collection are both sought-after collectors' items today.  See further at http://www.georgjensen.com/
