A stunning Private Collection of Georg Jensen silver | 7 November 2018

A remarkable Private Collection of George Jensen silver will be offered at Dreweatts, Donnington Priory, on 7 November 2018.

The extensive 150 lot group was acquired directly from Georg Jensen in the past 20 years and features every imaginable piece to create the most stylish dining table, as we look ahead to the festive season.

Georg Jensen (1866-1935) was educated in both the fine arts and metal smithing and he opened his first silversmithy in 1904 in Copenhagen. His beautiful Art Nouveau designs in silver were of the finest quality and they soon became popular and he expanded his Copenhagen headquarters; by the 1920s he also had premises in Berlin, London and New York.

Johan Rohde

A number of designers worked for Georg Jensen, notable amongst these was Johan Rohde (1856-1935) who was also a painter and lithographer. Rohde played an important role in the development of Danish craftsmanship through his work at Jensen.
