How do I identify a Jensen period?

Study the punched factory hallmarks, designer stamps, and date ciphers present on the reverse or underside of the silver. Different decades utilised specific punch borders and numbering systems. Style also offers a clear indicator, moving from organic Skønvirke Art Nouveau in the early years to geometric Art Deco and clean Danish Modern forms by mid century.

Are all Jensen pieces sterling silver?

The vast majority of items produced by the workshop use sterling silver standards, though some items incorporate stainless steel components for functional utility like knife blades or cocktail forks. Certain pieces also feature polished gemstones such as amethysts set directly into the silver mounts.

How should I clean antique silver?

Maintain your silver by washing it gently in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh abrasive dips that strip away desirable patination and fine detail. Regular light dusting prevents tarnish build-up in recessed areas. Store items in tarnish-resistant cloth away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve the metal finish.

What is the Pyramid pattern?

The Pyramid pattern is a distinct Art Deco design featuring stepped, geometric tiers that taper toward the terminal of the handle. It represents a shift away from organic flora toward structural modernism. Silversmiths applied this motif to serving utensils, cheese scoops, and holloware.
