Sterling Silver jewelry and tableware that was sold at the Jensen store in New York City included designs by American craftsmen, especially William De Matteo and Alphonse La Paglia, in the late 1940s. This is the story of these two silversmiths' work and its impact on fancy goods of the mid-20th century period. Silver tea sets, candelabra, centerpieces, bowls, serving spoons, and women’s jewelry sets were made in original designs that incorporated Danish styles for which the store was famous. Today, these are vintage items that are valuable and highly popular among collectors of fine traditional style decorative arts. Many identifying marks, catalog pages, and original advertisements are presented and discussed. Through newly found documentation, original working drawings, and careful analysis, these vintage silver items finally can be identified and appreciated for their specialty status among the finest luxury goods worldwide.

North Jutland artist Tove Anderberg (born 1942) has developed a unique individual style in the medium of porcelain, which sets her work apart from traditional Danish ceramics. Sensual sweeping organic shapes, aesthetic purity, and beautiful glazes in many soft colors like off-white, blue, pale green, and ochre, characterize her work. So compelling are these pieces, that you can hardly stop yourself from trying to caress them on the pages of the book.

Tage Andersen, the foremost contemporary Danish interior and floral designer, shares his deeply artistic visions in tableaux featuring the organic world woven into the man-made, displaying a range of skill from the rustic and humorous to the refined. Exotic flowers, living baskets woven into coffee tables, checkerboard lawns at country manor houses, virtual runways of red water lilies in castle moats and candelabras in empty cells - a very unusual art book that moves from reality to fantasy around what plants, branches and flowers can bring to our home and our imagination.
