Niels Erik From vintage silver jewelry
Born in 1908, Niels Erik From was one of the most prominent representatives of Danish silver business. His name is among the great Scandinavian jewelry designers, such as Georg Jensen and David Anderson. Niels began working as an apprentice for local silversmiths, as was the custom at the time. Having successfully passed the exam and received a license, he organized his own workshop.
The 23-year-old master began to create unique pieces, and continued to hone his craft. Even the early works of the talented master, including floral and leafy motifs, brought him popularity. However, Nielsen was only able to establish his own company at the end of World War II.
Registered in the southern Danish town of Nakskov, on the west coast of the island of Lolland, the company began operations in 1944. By this time, the master had developed his own unique style following the new modernist tendencies. In particular, clean lines, minimalist and abstract forms. Noteworthy, the greatest heyday and worldwide fame of the company was in the 1960s and 70s, when the company sold its products both in Europe and in the USA.
In the early 1980s, Niels retired, entrusting the business to his son-in-law, Hilmer Jensen, who had worked for the company since the 1960s. Heading the family business after Niels’ death in 1986, Jensen had worked for no more than five years. Unfortunately, the company ceased to exist in 1990.
High quality handcrafted silverware by Niels Erik From is highly collectible and will undoubtedly rise in price.
