Designed
in 1906 by Georg Jensen, the Continental cutlery pattern was the first
major cutlery range to emerge from the fledgling silversmithy that was
established two years earlier in 1904. In designing Continental, Georg
Jensen was inspired by the forms of traditional and centuries-old Nordic
tools and implements. The lightly hammered surface enhances the design
giving it depth and a unique beauty that is exclusive to silver.

Georg
Jensen is one of the world's most significant silversmiths, who formed
an international following due to his innovative and sculptural work and
his collaborations with other very talented designers. He started in
Copenhagen as a sculptor and goldsmith working his way into
silversmithing. He was the first to blur lines between artistry and
craftsmanship with his ornamental design in the early 1900's. In 1904
her opened his first shop and quickly gained a following, with those
stating he "never followed fashion, he created it". In 1918 he opened a
much larger shop and when he passed in 1935 he already had an
international reputation for superb craftsmanship. He was reigned as
"the greatest silversmith of the last 300 years" when he passed.
