Georg Jensen Long Handle Silver Preserve Spoon

A superb silver long handled preserve spoon by the great Georg Jensen. This fabulous example is fully cast with a gently planished bowl and terminal. The top front of the shank bears stylized fruit and bud motifs, with pierced fretwork. Probably a commission piece due to its non-mainstream pattern, this superb piece is of good gauge silver and is a good example of a preserve spoon. Georg Jensen is one of the great names in early 20th Century silver - specialising in Arts and Crafts/Art Deco design. Vintage examples of his work are widely pursued and this wonderful collector's piece is both practical and decorative.
