REF:-418F DENMARK AAGAARD, Jens Johannes (JAa) Modern Danish Silver, founded in 1946 in Svendborg and developed a wide range of quality products that are found in all jewelry stores in Denmark. The company acquired N.E.From in the 1990s, and with it one of their young designers, Lasse Larke, who became Aagaard's chief designer. One of his most successful creations was Connections, with its click and twisting the clasp mechanism. The company also developed the Lovelinks bead jewelry brand, which was sold worldwide to mid-twentieth-century Danish silversmiths based in Randers, a market town in Jutland, Denmark. The seminar was held from 1949 to 1990. Aarre and Krogh became known for their very distinctive jewelry style, the most popular of which was stylized foliage and flowers, often with cat skins. The craftsmanship and quality of A q K jewelry is nothing special, and their work continues to be popular today among silver jewelry collectors. ANDERSEN, Just A Just Andersen began making jewelry in his workshop in 1918, receiving a kickstart from Mogens Ballin with a 3-year project to decorate the altar in Copenhagen. He produced beautiful curly sculptures made of gold as jewelry, but they were of course very expensive, and so he also started working in silver and pewter and Disko, an alloy that he discovered himself. His pewter hollow from this period commands very high prices today. In the late 1920s, Just Andersen began to move from individual unicameral parts to a more streamlined production method, collaborating with a Swedish jeweler and introducing inspired by the simple forms of Scandinavian Scandinavian Jewelry. (Source: Jakob Tij, Danish Jewelry, 1990) Just Andersen died in 1943, but his workshop continued under the guidance of his widow and Ellen Schlanbush (1902-2005), who worked for the company for a total of 50 years, and who became artistic director. Karen Strand, Arie Grigst and Jane Viberg were students in the post-war period. The company closed in 1973. (Source: Vibeke Marsso) BAHNER, Volmer (VB) Volmer Bachner was Denmark's best known specialist enamel company, and was registered from 1962 to 1988. The designs are innovative, especially in beautiful guillotine enamel floral pieces such as feces lily, which was made in several colors including a row of blues, white and deep red. This design was used for brooches, earrings, bracelets and even necklaces. But Bachner also produced simple, non-portable Art Deco projects. Above all, the most instantly identifiable Volmer Bachner designs his heart and animal motifs, including fish and butterflies. They were also made in different configurations and for different parts of the body! Many of them have been specially designed as gifts for young girls, and so rings, bracelets and necklaces are often quite small in size. However, they can be extended by any competent jeweler, as they were usually collected with simple jump rings. Bachner's sign is his initials VB, accompanied by STERLING, DENMARK His work is sometimes also associated with CHRISTGAU, and can carry this sign. BERG, A.P.P.Berg was active from 1958 to 1983 in Assen on Funen Island. I haven't been able to identify this manufacturer for several years as jewelry (mostly cufflinks) is marked only with a curly logo. But the client pointed out to me that Berg's popular candlesticks (of which I own a couple) are marked with both the same logo and Berg's name. Mystery solved. Berg also made a number of popular flat series. BISGAARD , Palle (P.Bis) A famous and highly regarded Danish modernist silversmith who opened his workshop in Kirk Hyllinge, a village outside Roskilde in the 1950s. He still lives there. BRADRENE BJERRING (Brdr.Bj) The Bjerring brothers held their workshop in Copenhagen from 1962 to 1988. Their production was characterized by attention to detail, accessibility without compromising quality and a wide variety of innovative modernist designs. Many of these designs included semi-precious stones, both in pendants, brooches and rings. BRADRINE BJORKLUND (Brdr.B) The company's plays are highly regarded not only for their innovative design, but also because it existed only for 10 years, from 1961 to 1971 BLUITGEN, Ib (IB) Ib Bluitgen, born in 1921, studied as a silversmith at Silversmithy Georg Jensen, and also studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, sculptures from 1945 to 1948. He worked in Georg Jensen's design department from 1948 to 1962, becoming head of the department in 1950. Bluitgen opened its own studio in 1961 and was one of the founders of the Danish Crafts Council. Bluitgen's works have been exhibited throughout Europe and North America and were part of the recent exhibition Dansk Solv 2000 at the Kolda Museum in Coldying, Denmark. Bluitgen received awards at Milan Triennale in 1954 and the Statens Kunstfornd Award in 1976. In 2007, he was awarded the coveted Carl Gustav Hansen Award. C. BRUMBERG HANSEN (CBH) C. Brumberg Hansen, whose workshop in Copenhagen was registered from 1937 to 1987 M.P.CHRISTOFFERSEN (MPC) 1971 CARL M COHR (CmC) World famous silver company, founded in 1860 in the city of Fredericia on the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. In the first half of the twentieth century, the company was best known for cutlery (flat utensils) and hollow products, and to a lesser extent jewelry. It was so large that it had several hundred employees, and provided apprenticeships for many famous silversmiths, such as Hans Hansen and much later, Bent Knudsen. The company was incorporated in Frederickia until 1987. The ERIK DENNUNG Dennung workshop in Copenhagen was first registered in 1974, and the store on Frederixberg did not close until 2016, run by his son Stan after Eric's death at the age of 82 in 2007. Dennung's career combined his jewelry production with a star as a footballer and then as a coach. Much of Dennung's work is bold, in the so-called Brutalist style, and requires a lot of material, so he tends to use a silver plate over the base metal eiler and MARL'E (E'M) Famous silversmiths are active during the first half of the 20th century, registered from 1920 to 1967 in Copenhagen, Denmark. One (or both) of the two name brands is used, as well as the umenable design, many of which are art deco or functionalist in style. ALGOTH HR. ENEVOLDSEN (ALE) Algot Chr. Enevoldsen, first registered in Copenhagen in 1950, produced high-quality modernist jewelry. Per Enevoldsen (son?) has developed the concept of Pandora beads, which is now one of the largest jewelry brands in the world. EINER FEHRN (EF) High-quality Danish silversmith, based in Copenhagen, was founded in 1933. Fehrn specializes in the production of amber jewelry. He also founded Amber House outlets, which are now well represented internationally, especially in China. Amber is found in several regions of the world, but the most expensive source is the Baltic region and the west coast of Denmark. FLORA DANICA In 1953 Eggert was inspired to create shapes from herbs and flowers of his garden and turn them into jewelry, layering a silver base with 18 ct gold. The company will still be strong, and now now its designs are both in gold and silver. The S.CHRISTIAN FOGH seminar in Copenhagen was registered from 1947 to 1973. NIELS ERIK FROM, DENMARK Nils Eric Iz was born in Denmark in 1908 and trained as a silversmith. He opened a shop in 1931, from which he also sold some of his designs, but N.E.From The Cousins was first registered in Naxkov in 1944. His son-in-law, Hilmer Jensen, joined the management team in 1960, and in 1986, after the death of Nils Eric, he joined the company. The company was liquidated a few years later. There are two different styles in the production. The blue foliage and floral figures were designed by Nils Eric From and characterize the early years of production, while bold modernist works were introduced by another designer in the 1960s. There are also a number of signatures used by the company. Smaller pieces can be simply marked from. Others have N.E.ART, STERLING, DENMARK, 925s squared, and finally many parts carry N.E.From signature in a page scenario. The company's products were extensive and its work was exported worldwide in the 1960s and 70s. Affordability is now increasingly limited and prices are rising accordingly as collectors warm to these modern classics. Nils Eric Ot has now joined the great modernist Danish design. Carl OVE FRYDENSBERG (COF) Designer and manufacturer of high-quality silver jewelry registered in Copenhagen from 1949 to 1982. It is also listed in Fred Rezadeh's book Collector's Silver Jewelry. BENT GABRIELSEN qualified as a jeweler in 1949 after serving in the jeweler Euler Fangele in Copenhagen. He planned to become a carpenter, like his grandfather, but since the apprenticeship was few, the only available position was as a student jeweler. Gabrielsen was one of the first group of students at Goldsmiths Academy, where he graduated with the best grades in 1953. He was immediately hired by Hans Hansen Solvsmedie and worked there until 1969. By the time he left, he was in charge of all the company's production. After leaving Hans Hansen's company, Gabrielsen created his own workshop called Guldsmedie by Gabrielsen. He kept his business small with him and his wife-only employees. Most of his products were sold in Japan. Bent Gabrielessen won the Lunning Prize in 1964. As Eric Bohr, Chairman of the Lunar Committee, wrote: Bent Gabrielsen's jewels carry absolute conviction in its function; its processing of materials is so restrained and well thought to be felt that it can hardly be otherwise. Its jewelry is simple and clearly constructed, often with links connecting naturally to each other, so that the full piece makes up a beautiful whole. Every detail of his belongings has been worked out. There are no false effects. It doesn't take an easy way out. Bent Gabrielsen, see GIFA stands for Guldsmedenes Indk'bsforening, was founded in 1959 as a consortium for commissioning, procurement and marketing to ensure the quality of products for its members, currently comprising 45 individual retailers. Hugo Grun (H.Gr) Hugo Grun was a respected Copenhagen silversmith whose workshop existed from 1918 to 1985. The designs thus span from late modernism, called sk'nvirke in Danish, through Art Deco, functionalism, 1940s floral and post-World War II modernism. Jens Tage Hansen (JTH) Jens Tage Hansen founded his silver forge in Copenhagen in 1954 when he met the artist Aage Gitz-Johansen, who spent many years watching and drawing life in Greenland. Tage Hansen initiated a collaboration with Gitz-Johansen to take his Greenland themes and turn them into jewelry. The first was a polar bear in 1954, the most famous was the Inuit girl in 1960. These Greenland motifs have made Tage Hansen quite famous, and the range is still produced today. Tage Hansen also produced more basic silver jewelry as well as tourist souvenirs. Hans HANSEN Hans Hansen (1884-1940) began his own silver forge in the 1920s in the town of Colding with a mechanized production of silverware. The company's product range and reputation for excellent modernist design, however, was created by his son, Carl Gustav Hansen, who trained in his father's workshop in 1932, and consolidated by Bent Gabrielsen, artistic director from 1953 to 1969. (Please see a separate biography). Carl Gustav Hansen was born in 1914 and followed in his father's footsteps to become a blacksmith. Even before he prepared his part of the apprenticeship test in 1934, he created a series of projects in a simpler, functionalist style, which he called the Future. He then attended the Sculpture School at the Academy of Arts and made a three-month academic trip to Italy. In 1940 Hans Hansen died, and now 25-year-old Carl Gustav took over the family firm, designing jewelry and increasingly utensils and cavities. He had little or no design of jewelry during the peiod 1953 -69, when Bent Gabrielsen was hired by the company, but resumed after that, and remained active until his death in 2002 a number of other famous Danish silversmiths began their careers in the company of Hans Hansen and their projects were clearly influenced by the studio. These include Bent Knudsen, Egil Jensen (who went on to work for Anton Michelsen) and Allan Scharf (born 1945), who progressed to Georg Jensen. One of Scharf's most famous projects, sold as the Alliance by Georg Jensen, was developed during his work with Hans Hansen. There are no signatures on any of the pieces, but you can identify the designer as soon as you are familiar with their work. All items carry one of Hans Hansen's common logos, either HaH, or H's H, or Hansen's signature in the script, . You can't give parts on the mark you're in. In general, however, and quite logically, large parts will carry the signature of the script, smaller initials. The company was taken over by the Royal Scandinavia Group in 1991 and is thus incorporated into The Composition of Georg Jensen. Several of Hans Hansen's designs are still produced by Georg Jensen. Bernard Hertz One of the most famous and respected silversmiths in Copenhagen, the company was founded in 1858, i.e. almost 50 years before Georg Jensen, and was registered until 2007 when they were adopted by Lund Copenhagen. They designed and produced silver jewelry in all major stylistic eras, but their bloom was probably in the early 20th century, when they were leaders in the field of Skonvirke (Danish Modern), and brooches in these designs are very much in demand by collectors, commanding prices equal to Georg Jensen. Axel Hill is Copenhagen silver Axel Holm, whose company was registered from 1908 to 1988. He seems to specialize in cufflinks - I've never seen any other types of jewelry by this manufacturer. Jacob Hull This artist became famous in the early 1970s when his works were exhibited internationally and were put up for sale at Illums Bolighus, the flagship outlet for Danish design. It has been rolling stone, living all over the country as well as abroad (such as Finland). He was also a sculptor of some note, whose works were taken at the annual exhibition in Charlottenburg. He eventually settled on the Jursland Peninsula in Jutland, Denmark, and it was there that he died in 1993, the victim of a fire in his home. He was rescued from the fire but returned to rescue the vintage car, and did not reappear. Hull jewelry can be divided into two categories. There are original one-off pieces that he created in solid silver, and which command very high prices, running in thousands of pounds, and secondly, there are silver pieces, many of which were created for Buch and Deichmann, and which thus also carry their seal. Everything was done by hand in Hull's own workshop, but to meet the demand for some of the more popular parts B and D, he hired an assistant to produce them. Hull was very fussy about preserving his intellectual property rights as his work was very copied. He insisted that everything that leaves his workshop was worn by one of his stamps, J.HULL or Jacob, or Jacob Hull in a script or engraved initials, and thus it is likely that any unstamped piece was made without his knowledge or approval. Georg Jensen Theme several large and weighty reference books, Georg Jensen is probably the most famous silversmith company in the world, so I won't try to imagine the history in this space. In 2004, the company celebrated its continuing to develop and innovate. Most of the early parts developed during the first two decades of the 20th 20th were developed by Georg Jensen. But many other designers were attached to the workshop, and some of them produced iconic Jensen pieces. These include Harald Nielsen, Henry Pilstrup, Arnaud Malinowski, Henning Koppel, Nanna Dietzel and many others. Once you know the designer's style, it's easy to recognize their parts, even if they don't bear the designer's name, only George Jensen's number and brand company. Old catalogues and numerous publications about George Jensen, however, include the names of designers. Hans Jensen There are three Danish bodies listed that used the initials HJ and they were all called Hans Jensen and Co. (the frequency of this name equates to John Smith in English). Although the first was based in Copenhagen and the second two in Aarhus, their periods are consistent, and it makes me believe that this is one family working from 1899 to 1937 in Copenhagen and then in Aarhus until 1970. Arne Johansen Master of Modernist Design, Arne Johansen was born in 1927, qualified as a silversmith in 1951 and started his workshop in Roskilde in 1954. His entire family was engaged in production and sale until 1993. His work is characterized by pure simplicity of the line, elegant design, considerable weight of silver and experience of craftsmanship. Knudsen, Bent and Annie (Bent K) Bent Knudsen (1924-1997) studied with Carl Cora in Fredericia, and then worked in Hans Hansen's cousin until 1956, when he started his own workshop with his wife Annie (1927-). Their creations, always marked by Bent K, and clearly inspired by Bent's time in Hans Hansen, demonstrated the understated, clear and simple lines that are the hallmark of Danish modernism. Their work does not often appear on the market, and is much in demand. While the workshop existed until a few years ago, the production of silverware was gradually discontinued during the 1970s, when another of their passions, paper cut, became their main problem and it enjoyed worldwide recognition and sales ever since. Willy Kromar (W.kr) Founded his workshop in the Copenhagen suburbs in 1943 Lauritzen, John (John L) John Laurtizen designed and produced remarkable silver jewelry in Copenhagen between 1955 and 1981. B. Margosian, who was registered in Copenhagen from 1973 to 1982 ole Linggaard. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen was founded in 1963 in a small shop in Hellerup, a prestigious suburb in northern Copenhagen. The firm has become the ultimate Danish luxury jewellery brand and supplier to the Royal Danish Court. Currently celebrating his 50th birthday, he is still a family business with daughter Linggaard Charlotte helping her father as a designer and jeweler. His son is the managing director and his son-in-law is a commercial director. See more Meka or Meka Commercial, registered in Holt, north of 1951 to 1989. Production included enamelled utensils (spoons, etc.), as well as jewelry with enamel design, similar to Volmer Bachner and David-Andersen. Anton Michelsen (AM) Anton Michelsen's Silver Factory was founded in 1841 and thus celebrated its centenary when it was bought by the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory in 1968. As Royal Copenhagen then went on to purchase Georg Jensen as well, Michelsen was gradually merged with Jensen, and today only annual forks and spoons bear the name Michelsen. Nb. 1. Georg Jensen was Anton Michelsen's apprentice in the 1890s, not the other way around! Some of Jensen's most popular works of the late 20th century were actually intended for Michelsen. 2. In the 1850s, Michelsen was commissioned to redesign the royal medals and has since made them by appointment. Hence the experience of enamel, which led to 3. The most popular jewelry design of the twentieth century, Marguerite Daisy, created in 1940 to celebrate the birth of princess (later queen) Margrethe. 4. After its takeover by Royal Copenhagen in 1968, silver designers were encouraged to work with ceramics, which led to some very interesting and sought-after creations. 5. Since at least 1950, Anton Michelsen has recognized his designers by stamping his signatures on each piece. Mid- and late 20th century designers include Karen Strand, Gertrude Engel, Eigil Jensen, Nanna and Yargen Dietzel, Knud v Andersen and Jens Windfeld Hansen. 6. Michelsen set up a subsidiary in Sweden during world war II and for some time after. MIC was a brand of manufacturer used for products manufactured in Sweden, and this sign can often be seen on Engel's herberate designs of the 1950s, although they were also made in Denmark. In Sweden, they also collaborated with the Swedish company Borgila. Source: Antique and Auktion 4/99 Mikkelsen, Andreas (A.MIK) Andreas Mikkelsen (born 1928) joined the Silver Forge georgy Georg Jensen in 1955 - initially as a member of the management of the firm. He was to become the head of sales, head of production and product development, and even to finish the position of managing director. All this time he brought up his artistic talents and collaborated with the silversmith Ove Wendt between 1970 and 1978, as well as independently. In the late 1980s, he began designing jewelry and other products for Georg Jensen. These items cover everything from golf tees to Christmas decorations. Many of his jewelry designs have also been incorporated into Georg Jensen's repertoire, while he seems to have retained the copyright to them, which may seem unusual, but if you're managing director, you can always Exceptions. Confused? No wonder - but this is my explanation for why you'll find these gems fantastically sleek Mikkelsen's jewelry with different signature combinations. They may appear with A.Mik or MIKKELSEN alone. They can appear with a combination of A.MIK and O.WENDT. Finally, they can appear with the George Jensen logo, without a design brand. In these cases, however, expect to pay at least twice as much, just for a more famous logo. Kopi Smykker (KOPI) Museums Authentic copies of past jewelry, mostly from Scandinavian countries, but also some of them come from the Baltic region, Great Britain, Germany and Holland. The finds date back to the Bronze Age (1500-400 AD). B.C.) the Iron Age (400 BC-800 AD) and the Viking Era (800-1050 AD) Decorations recreated in bronze, Sterling Silver, 8 and 14 carat gold by skilled jewellers in Wessenbjerg near Odense. The jewelry is cast and handmade on the look, like jewelry just to leave that ancient workshop from where it originated. Each decoration is accompanied by a specification in which the age and location are detailed, etc. All Viking jewelry is made of basic forms that are either accurate impressions of the original found jewelry, or reconstruction of jewelry remains and fragments of jewelry. All Viking jewellery is made in close collaboration with both national and international museums. Harald Nielsen Is the brother of Jensen's third wife Johanne, Nielsen joined the firm in 1909, at the age of 17. He helped establish Jensen's style and tradition for outstanding quality. In the 1920s he developed jewelry, utensils and hollow products, many of which are still in production. In the 1920s, he introduced stricter, more rational Forms of Art Deco. After the death of Georg Jensen in 1935, Nielsen became the artistic director of the company. For harald Nielsen subjects, see under Georg Jensen Hans Henrik Nygaard (HHN) Created a workshop in Vibi, a suburb of Aarhus, Denmark, in 1984. Most recently, the Spinning brand was created. Ole Bent Petersen. 1938 98. Ute Mirbach wrote an excellent, illustrated biography of this designer, For the elements of Ole Bent, to see under Georg Jensen. Henry Pilstrup (1890 - 1967) joined Georg Jensen on the year of her inauguration in 1904 and worked there until 1957. He was The First Apprentice of Georg Jensen and produced many samples of silver and gold for the company while he was a master of jewelry workshop. His first major design for the necklace (No. 4) was purchased by the Art and Industrial Museum in Copenhagen in 1909 and awarded the prize for the most beautiful piece of the year. Its simple rectangular cufflinks in the shape of bar 64, designed in functional style in 1937, remained in production until recently and were copied by many Designers. This style has been extremely popular since the 1940s and 1950s and you will find a few examples on this site. For Henry Henry's subjects Please look under Georg Jensen RAUFF Started in early 1985 in Aarhus, Denmark, this manufacturer of very high quality jewelry has grown very quickly to prominence because of its innovative designs. The products are defined as 'nike' - as logo, and/or initials NO, RA or full name RAUFF, it survived until 2006. The founder, Pia Rauff, currently makes bespoke jewelry, paints and sculptures and teaches from his studio south of Aarhus. Scrouples (SC) Silversmith has been based in the suburb of Aarhus Heibjerg since 1983. In April 1945, Herman SIERSBUL (HS) opened his own silversmith's workshop. His mission was to create affordable jewelry in modern design. He had the right idea, for the initial investment kr 2000, which he saved from his salary as an apprentice, gradually led to the development of one of the largest gold-silver in Scandinavia. Today, the company uses the most advanced production methods and equipment for the casting and stamping of jewelry. Herman Searsball died in a tragic accident in 1964, and the company took over his four children. His son Henrik Siersbol is currently the sole owner, and runs the company with his daughter Camilla. From 1958 to 1973, Theodore Skat-Roerdam's Copenhagen Workshop (TSR) was registered. Randers Solvevari factory.

FINLAND Kalevala Koru Finnish company Kalevala Koru is known for its interpretations of historical jewelry found at archaeological sites. was founded in 1935 by Kultaseppe Salovaara founded in Turku in 1953 and still has jewelry, their middle market, stylish products were widely exported to Europe and North America. Kupittaan Kulta Founder and Chief Designer, Alice Kauppi. Alice Kauppi; 1921-2004, born in Turku, Finland, was one of the few pioneers in Finnish modern jewelry. He began working with jewelry in 1936 and founded Kupittaan Kulta Oy with two friends after the war in 1945, which led the trend from popular midcentury floral patterns to the design of innovative and simple modernist works. Kupittaan Kulta Oy exported most of its products to the Countries of Northern and Central Europe, as well as to the United States and Japan. Contemporary Finnish jewelry made its breakthrough in 1958, when four major contemporary jewelry designers: Bertel Gardeberg, Alice Kauppi, Bere Rajalin and Eero Rislakki held an exhibition of their works at ARTEK in Helsinki. Kauppi's jewellery is on display at several international exhibitions and museums: Formes Scandinaves, Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Paris 1958-1959; Contemporary Jewellery Exhibition, Golsmith Hall, London 1961; Pfolcheim Jewellery Museum 1967 and 1970; International Art Exhibition in Shibia, Tokyo 1970, 1973 and 1976.

Most notable are the space series, launched in 1968, closely followed by the machine age inspired Flame Bronze Series from 1969. There is a very good article with super pictures of Vanessa Paterson here Other important designers include Poul Havgaard, from Denmark in 1974 and. Hungarian silversmith zoltan Popovich was born in 1940, who started working in Lapponia in 1975, Pekka Pekainen (1945 - 2004) was the second child of Martti and Elma Pekainen, who owned a watch and jewelry store in Helsinki under the name Piek'inen Oy which they founded in 1939. He learned skills in his father's workshop. Pekka began his career with Kaunis Koru in the 1960s. He later moved to Auran Kultaseppe Oy, the second oldest Finnish jeweler, from 1971 to 1989, and Pekainen was artistic director and chief designer. In 1991 he founded his own business PlatinOro. It exists today as a silver company that makes reproductions of Piek'inen'inen's work. Piek'inen exhibits include rings, bracelets, earrings, silverware and, in particular, bracelet watches.

The main influence on his projects was his childhood in the countryside with his father, who was a blacksmith. He was inspired by the creation of jewelry named after the bark of trees, weathering and dead pines and Karelian embroidery. Both embroidery and the motifs of the bark require wax sculpting, producing highly decorative surfaces. Sarpaneva products were mainly exported to Sweden and Norway, as well as to Denmark, the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom. Matti Khaivrinen (Sirokoru) Matti Huverinen began his career as an intern in his father's workshop in 1953, but soon founded his own studio at the age of 21, founding Sirokoru Ltd in 1958.
