Description
A silver and amazonite four row necklace, design No. 1, by Georg Jensen, 1933-1944, of swagged Leaf and Seed design, formed as a series of alternating foliate and stylised flowerhead links with bead and oval chain connectors, set throughout with cabochons, maker’s mark ‘GJ’ in a rectangular punch, stamped ‘830S’ and ‘DENMARK’, numbered ‘1’, length 41.5cm. £3,000-£4,000
---
The necklace is stamped with the rectangular box surrounding the initials GJ for 1933-44, but also ‘830S’ which would indicate that the piece was produced before 1932, reflecting various years of production for this design.
This design was illustrated on page 36 of the 1944 sales catalogue for George Jensen Inc., the New York City store at 667 Fifth Avenue, and described as the ‘Leaf and Seed’ design.
The first American Georg Jensen store had been set up in 1924, under the management of Frederick Lunning, and in 1935, had moved to more prominent premises in Fifth Avenue, New York. They produced a yearly mail-order catalogue promoting Jensen silver jewellery and hollowwares. Demand for Jensen silverwares continued to rise in America during the 1940s, and with World War II causing severe disruptions to the silver production in Denmark, due to the German occupation, Lunning commenced silver production of Jensen designs in America.
For illustration of the 1944 catalogue, see: Georg Jensen: 20th century Designs; preface by Janet Drucker & William Drucker, pub. Schiffer. 2002, page xvi.
The photograph illustrated depicts the necklace being modelled in 1940.
