Georg Jensen Pyramid Oval Tray #600 I Art Deco 925 Silver Execution 1933-44, H. Nielsen

Georg Jensen – Oval Serving Tray with Handles #600I, Pyramid Collection Design: Harald Nielsen, circa 1930–1932 · Georg Jensen, Copenhagen, 1933–1944 · Sterling Silver 925

An oval serving tray with handles #600I from Georg Jensen's Pyramid collection in sterling silver 925, bearing the square Copenhagen hallmark of the 1933–1944 period — among the most sought-after production years of the Jensen silversmithy, predating the Danish occupation and distinguished by exceptional quality of execution.

The Pyramid pattern, designed by Harald Nielsen circa 1927 and inspired by the period's fascination with ancient Egypt following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, stands as one of the most accomplished expressions of Art Déco in Scandinavian silversmithing. Harald Nielsen joined Georg Jensen as an apprentice in 1909, became the founder's brother-in-law, and devoted more than half a century to the silversmithy. After Georg Jensen's death in 1935, he made it his life's work to carry on the master's legacy, directing the manufacture from 1954 to 1962.

Georg Jensen silver works are held among the masterpieces of the Designmuseum Danmark in Copenhagen, as well as in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Koldinghus Museum, Denmark.
