Harald Nielsen (1892-1977) was Georg Jensen’s closest colleague and leading designer. His silver designs define classic Scandinavian style with ageless elegance that transcends time. The younger brother of Georg Jensen’s third wife, Harald Nielsen was drawn into the Georg Jensen silversmith at the age of 17. He worked his way up to designer of the smithy school of apprentices, becoming director in 1954. His role was particularly important after Georg Jensen died in 1935 as Nielsen insured the continued high quality of the firm’s design by recruiting and training young designers according to Georg Jensen standards. He became artistic director of the company in 1958, a position he held until his retirement in 1962. The small blade is for opening letters, the long chain coming from the mouth of the fish, ending in a small charm, is a bookmark.The letter opener measures 4 5/8″ in length, the chain is 10½” (11.6cm, 26.5cm).Vintage Georg Jensen hallmark from 1945-1951.Please see the last image from an vintage georg jensen catalogue :The caption “Papirkniv og bogmærk Nr.198”, translates as “Paper knife and bookmark No.198”.
