Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
Wow, Cheryl, thank you! My local library didn't have anything on Jensen; and yes, even used copies of the Drucker and Taylor books are pricey online. I didn't know about WorldCat.org - will definitely check it out. Pulled up a good list of refc's that are available via inter-library loan from Smiths...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
Is GJ mark I posted fake? We still don’t know, will wait for the answer by GJ at Amagertorv 4 shop. I was just going by oel's opinion. It looks fake to me, but I totally defer to oel and the others w/more expertise. I'm eager to hear what the readout is from GJ. Will they disclose they make hollowa...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
Thanks for the readout on the dates, and posting the ads from 1920 and '22. It just occurred to me that Jensen's works were already gaining popularity in the US before Lunning hauled his 2 trunk loads over in 1923 (duh!). His exhibitions throughout Europe were accumulating awards and accolades, and ...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
Thank you Trev! (for both the welcome and the photos) Very interesting.... because everything I've read so far say that Lunning first went to New York in 1923 when he sold out the entire collection at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, then opened the New York store on Madison Ave in 1924. It later moved to...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
...There are genuine Georg Jensen items not made in Denmark, marked with ``dotted oval`` and ``925 S sterling``, even designer’s initials. ... ...Not fakes - legally made outside Denmark. ... Sorry AG2012, your post confused me. I didn't understand your comments about genuine (ie., authentic) Georg...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
In April 2008 it was reported that Royal Copenhagen was moving nearly all of its production to Thailand What if the silver is legally made elsewhere? I'll take vintage/antique any day. The DNA has no patina. http://www.georgjensen.com/us/about/strategy ...The design and product development of our s...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
Thank you OEL! I have used this great site many times. 925-1000.com and silvercollection.it are my two "go-to" sites. I've read the posting requirements and photo upload instructions, and hope to contribute when I have something to offer. ;-) I hope this post isn't too long... kinda got ca...

Re: Match case by Georg Jensen, designed by Harald Nielsen
There are genuine Georg Jensen items not made in Denmark, marked with ``dotted oval`` and ``925 S sterling``, even designer’s initials. A European country where silver is being made is not relevant, but reliable sources helped me to trace it. What is the difference? There is no ``Denmark`` and the ...
