Henry Pilstrup (1890 to 1967) was Georg Jensen’s first apprentice, in the early days of the shop, starting in 1904, at the age of 14. He worked his way up quickly, producing a large part of the jewellery. Between 1918 and 1957, Henry Pilstrup had created many jewellery designs, being foreman of the respective workshop, making him one of the principal designers of earlier Jensen pieces.
