Jak Fine Silver has been collecting and updating its inventory for numerous years, and endeavors to increase the scope and size of its collection to offer its clients/collectors the widest possible range of rare and desirable pieces. The company is well-positioned and has the resources to locate rare pieces that collectors are seeking for their own collections. Jak Fine Silver buys fine, authenticated silverware, as well as sells it.

Jak Fine Silver is able to offer to its collector clients a lovely assortment of Danish silverware of the widely sought collection pieces of Georg Jensen silver, most of which are no longer manufactured. Many of these pieces of silver bear the vintage date marks, some of which go back as far as the 1904 to 1908 period. Jak Fine Silver is proud to stand behind the authenticity of both the hallmark and the date mark of every piece exhibited. The company’s George Jensen silver collection includes such desirable pieces as bookmarks, pillboxes, tableware, large and small bowls, and wine service pieces.

At the turn of the twentieth century Georg Jensen introduced a revolutionary concept in design and manufacture, which became so popular for its beauty that he became known as “The Father of Modern Silver.” He had formal training as a goldsmith and a sculptor, and it became clear that his creations and designs were heavily influenced by the emergence of the Art Nouveau movement. Because of his inherent love of nature, many of Georg Jensen’s designs were embellished with the harvest blessings of grapes, vines, blossoms, and berries. Jak Fine Silver has several of Georg Jensen’s fine Danish silverware table accessories, such as the cruet sets, lovely serving bowls with small bowls, and table serving pieces. George Jensen employed the services of many designers whose visions and manufacture were different from his own, but he took the almost unheard of step when he allowed these artists to include their own initials to their creations and take full credit for their design and manufacture.

Obtaining great popularity for his Danish silverware and his generosity towards his designers, all of whom were accomplished painters and goldsmiths, Georg Jensen was able to continue creating his own pieces at his own pace. All of Jensen’s silverware was made in Denmark, and each of his pieces shows this by having either the Denmark or Copenhagen stamp. Jensen silverware became the standard against which all other fine silverware was judged. Jak Fine Silver is privileged to offer Danish silverware for all grand occasions. A fine, white tablecloth offers the perfect drop cloth to show off the exquisite silver cruet sets, the butterpat holders, candle sticks, the fine dinner bells, napkin rings, pepper shakers, and the wine service sets. Jak Fine Silver has beautiful silver sugar baskets and matching creamers, open salt holders with dainty spoons, magnificent silver pitchers, bowls on elegant pedestals, carving sets, cork screws, modern candy dishes, beakers with coasters, and small and large silver vases. Any one piece of this Danish silverware would grace a private collection or be appreciated as a special wedding gift.
