A stunning early example of Georg Jensen solid sterling silver box, art deco in era. Having both the 1930 London import mark (the date letter "p") and the "GS" sponsor's mark for Stockwell & Co. elevates this piece from a "vintage design" to an important, early-period artifact. Stockwell & Co. acted as the vital gateway for Georg Jensen into the UK market from 1909 until roughly 1931. Because Harald Nielsen designed the box right around 1930, this piece represents one of the very first production batches ever imported to the UK. It wasn't sitting in a Danish workshop for years; it was sent straight to London, Collectors of British-market silver highly prize early "GS" imports. Jensen later established their own London corporate branch (using the "G.JLd" stamp). A box stamped with the original Stockwell agent mark during the absolute peak year of the Art Deco movement carries historical cachet that modern post-war copies lack. A superb example with multiple clear marks, signed Georg Jensen, Denmark , Sterling, 925, GS Sponsor mark for Stockwell & Co., the import mark for London 1930 dating it accurately. Professionally cleaned and polished in our silversmiths workshop in beautiful condition measuring 3" x 2 1/2" x 3/8" and weighing 2.92 Troy Ounces / 90.7 Grams.
