Bio:
Kaj Bojesen (1886–1958) was originally trained as a silversmith under Georg Jensen in Copenhagen but opened his own workshop in Randers in 1913. There he created jewelry and silverware in the elegant, organic style of the period. He later became world-famous for his wooden toys and figures, but his early silver works are today regarded as rare collector’s items of museum quality.
