Sigvard Bernadotte's silver cutlery from 1939 emanates a sophisticated sense of style. The fluted handle is simple and aristocratic in its expression. The cutlery maintains the understated grace of the flute decoration in every detail, creating a whole that reflects Bernadotte's unwavering taste and feeling for the exclusivity of silver.

The son of a blacksmith and born in 1866, Georg Jensen grew up in a poor family in the little industrial town of Raavad north of Copenhagen. He always called it "a paradise on earth", fondly remembering its powerful oaks, towering beeches, and blue clay which he used to sculpture human figures. As a boy, he was sent to work at a foundry to help support his parents and seven siblings. When he was 14, his family moved to Copenhagen where he apprenticed with a goldsmith. In his spare time, he took drawing, geometry, engraving, and modeling courses during which time he decided to become a sculptor. While it was an improbable ambition for a working class young man, Georg passed the entrance examination of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and joined its sculpture class in 1887. After graduating in 1892, he first made art pottery while he married and had 2 children.Georg Jensen Silver smith]]> Flatware]]> Mitra]]> New York]]> Beaded]]> Bernadotte]]> Blossom]]> Continental]]> Dinnerware]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Silver-Smith-Of-Georg-Jensen/291473 Fri, 08 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Silver-Smith-Of-Georg-Jensen/291473
