The exhibition of “Fifty Years of Jensen Silver,” which has been circulated among American museums by the Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition service, was put on display from May 16 to June 1 at the Georg Jensen, Inc., store in New York. Sponsored by Henrik de Kauffmann, Danish Ambassador to the United States, the display consists of the work of 16 artists whose designs have been executed by the Jensen silversmithy in Copenhagen during the past half century, including the work of the founder and his associate, Johan Rohde. In addition to the silver, the exhibit included a collection of stainless steel designed and executed since the War.

Georg Jensen Sponsors Exhibit; Antique Silver Collection Shown

One of the most complete collections of silver in the world was on display at Georg Jensen, Inc., 667 Fifth Ave., New York, from February 13 through 21 in a comprehensive exhibition entitled ‘‘ Five Centuries of Silver.’’ The main items were drawn from the collection of Francis E. Fowler, Jr., president of Southern Comfort Corp., whose avocation for the past 15 years has been his collection of drinking vessels in every medium, but most especially in silver. In addition, a group of Danish silver from the Metropolitan Museum of Art was shown.

Famous British silversmiths from the time of Queen Elizabeth to the nineteenth century, and outstanding Solonial craftsmen were represented by important work.

One of the highlights of the collection was the dozen dessert plates in gilded silver. Made in London in 1567, each plate bears an engraved picture of one of the labors of Hereules. Of great rarity is a set of Apostle spoons dated 1617 which show a minutely worked figure of one of the Apostles on each handle. Only four authenticated sets are known.

In addition, a group of modern flatware patterns, which clearly trace their inspiration to certain periods of the antique silver, were also shown. Especially interesting were the contemporary designs which are often chosen to be used in a crisply modern setting, but whose ancestry is pure American Colonial or Georgian.

Georg Jensen shows a case full of his handworked silver candlesticks, bowls, table pieces and jewelry, all excellent in design and finish. One of his pieces, a fruit bowl of generous proportions, is shown in the accompanying illustrations. It is beautiful in line; typical of Mr: Jensen’s designing in its use of contrasted globes of silver with smooth-polished flat surfaces.
