Jak Fine Silver is proud to be able to offer clients and collectors of Danish silverware an assortment of the widely sought collection pieces of the Georg Jensen silverware, most of which are no longer manufactured. For the discerning silverware collector, Jak Fine Silver is able to offer exquisite and mint condition items. At the turn of the twentieth century Georg Jensen introduced a revolutionary concept in design and manufacture that became so popular for its beauty that Jensen became known as “The Father of Modern Silver.” George Jensen had formal training as a goldsmith and a sculptor, and it clearly emerged that his designs and manufacture were heavily influenced by the appearance of the Art Nouveau movement, which in England, was called Arts and Crafts. George Jensen had a long, working relationship with Johan Rohde, who designed the popular “acorn design”. Jensen executed the manufacture of the design, and to this day, it remains the most popular and best selling Georg Jensen flatware.

Because of Jensen’s inherent love of nature, many of Jensen’s silverware is embellished with the representation of the harvest blessings, grapes, vines, blossoms, and berries. He was delighted with Rohde’s acorn design and set to work to produce the renowned silver flatware. Georg Jensen engaged the services of many other designers, all of whom were accomplished painters and goldsmiths. These designers and manufacturers had creative visions that differed from his own, but he allowed them to add their own initials to their creations and take full credit for their workmanship. Jak Fine Silver has several of the acorn design Georg Jensen flatware services, which it recommends as being the very best example of Danish silverware. All of Georg Jensen’s silverware pieces were manufactured in Denmark, and each item bears the Denmark or Copenhagen stamp mark. George Jensen’s silverware became the standard against which all other silverware was judged.

Jak Fine Silver is privileged to offer the very fine Georg Jensen flatware to clients to grace a table set for a banquet or to just own and add to their current Jensen collections. Jak Fine Silver can also offer the fine silver carving sets to complement the Georg Jensen flatware and the serving spoons. The silver cruets are a perfect addition, as are the butter pat holders, the dinner bells, napkin rings, and the candlesticks. A beautiful acorn design Georg Jensen flatware set would make a delightful gift to a young couple making their new home together.
