Note:

Designed by Georg Jensen in 1919, this form won praise from critics and public alike. Nearly two-decades after it's initial appearance, this two-light candelabra would still occupy a pride-of-place in the 1935 Georg Jensen Silver catalogue with a full illustration on the booklet's title page [1]. The motifs would continue to be admired and repeated throughout the workshop's designs.
