Gundorph Albertus and Georg Jensen<\/h4>\n

Gundorph Albertus [1887 \u2013 1969] was a Danish sculptor and silversmith. He trained as a chaser in Munich in 1905, followed by an apprenticeship as a silversmith which he completed in 1909. This was followed by a year of study abroad at the \u00c9cole des Arts D\u00e9coratifs in Paris. After working in Munich and Paris for a few years, he enrolled at the Sculpture School of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where he studied until 1915. While still a student, he began his career with Georg Jensen by working as a chaser in his silversmith\u2019s shop in 1911. Between 1926 and 1954 he was deputy managing director of the company, and in 1935, after Georg Jensen\u2019s death, he was also appointed production manager.
\nGundorph Albertus created one of the most famous designs for cutlery and hollowware in 1930 with the \u201cCactus\u201d decor. His designs were awarded a gold medal at the 1925 World\u2019s Fair in Paris, followed by an honorary award at the 1937 World\u2019s Fair.<\/p>\n
