Bio:
Georg Jensen (1866–1935) was a Danish silversmith and designer who founded Georg Jensen Silversmithy in Copenhagen in 1904. His organic design language and inspiration from nature became hallmarks of Danish silver craftsmanship and earned his work international recognition. The Acanthus pattern is among the company's classic flatware designs and takes inspiration from the elegant forms of the acanthus leaf.
