Georg Jensen Sterling Silver Necklace No. 40 Henry Pilstrup

Henry Pilstrup was a silversmith under Georg Jensen in the early days when he started in 1904, when he was 14 years old. He quickly worked his way up in the company and made a large proportion of the jewelry. Between 1918 and 1957 he designed a lot of jewelry, as he was also the head of the jewelry department. So his designs make up a large part of the early jewelry.
