Bio:
Evald Johannes Nielsen (1879–1958) was a Danish silversmith and a prominent figure in the Danish Arts and Crafts movement. He established his own workshop in Copenhagen in 1905 and became particularly renowned for jewellery, hollowware and cutlery featuring organic flower, leaf and bud motifs. His distinctive style combines precise craftsmanship with the nature-inspired decoration characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement. Nielsen served as master of the Copenhagen Goldsmiths Guild from 1918 to 1948.
