Erik

1909, producing extraordinary naturalistic silver-gilt and porcelain brooches
of insects for the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory. In 1925, he moved to
New York City and became artistic director for Gorham Silver Co. He worked
independently from the other designers, producing modernistic pieces that were
completely opposed to the traditional Colonial Gorham designs. He created
radically geometric designs. After the stock market crash of 1929, Magnussen
left Gorham and opened his own shops in New York City and Chicago. Later, he
maintained a shop in Hollywood to design for the stars. His signature is an
