A. Michelsen, probably 1950s.

Anton Michelsen (1809 - 1877) opened his first gold and silversmiths shop in Copenhagen in 1841, and was awarded the title of royal court jeweller. Alongside Jensen, he was one of the leading silversmiths of his time and greatly influenced the Danish avant-garde of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
