Note: The design of this candelabra is considered the last of Georg Jensen's own designs before his death in 1935. Despite being the last work in his oeuvre, it shows his continued brilliance in incorporating craftsmanship and naturalism. The blossom motifs radiating from the stem repeat a pattern seen from earlier works while the arms and stem reflect the modernism and cleanliness that would continue to propel the work of the Jensen workshop through the 20th century.
