A. Michelsen leaf brooch

Length 7.5 cm.

Stamped A. Michelsen 925 S for sterling silver, Denmark and Gertrud Engel's house mark.

A. Michelsen was founded in 1841 and already exhibited in 1855 as the only Danish silversmith at the World Exhibition in Paris. In 1985, Georg Jensen bought A. Michelsen and the company disappeared as an independent name, despite the fact that throughout the workshop's lifetime they had managed to keep up with the times and deliver things of such high quality that they became the Royal Court Supplier.
