World-renowned for flatware, hollowware, and jewelry, pieces by Jensen are sought after by collectors and can be priced to reflect that demand. Georg Jensen was born in 1866. After trying his hand at goldsmithing, sculpture, and pottery, he found his niche in silversmithing and opened his Copenhagen shop in 1904. Within a year, his work was featured in an exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Copenhagen and his popularity catapulted. In fact, business was so successful Jensen had to close shop periodically because he was out of inventory. Jensen was Denmark's leading designer during the Skonvirke period. This period of design, during the early 20th century, had various national names: Arts and Crafts Movement in the U.S., Art Nouveau in France, and Jungenstil in Germany. Georg Jensen took inspiration from nature. His designs, especially the early ones, were unlike anything previously seen. The work, and the work of those who copied him, was distinct and referred to as the Jensen Style.
