Georg Hornemann
Georg Hornemann was a German silversmith who founded his workshop in Berlin in 1877. He produced luxury silver objects, jewelry, and tableware using a range of techniques, including chasing, repoussé, and enameling.
Hornemann's work was known for its high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs, which often incorporated naturalistic motifs, such as flowers and animals, into his pieces. He was also known for his use of precious and semiprecious stones, particularly opals and aquamarines.
Throughout his career, Hornemann won numerous awards for his work, including the Gold Medal at the Berlin Industrial Exhibition in 1896 and the Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900. His workshop continued to operate after his death in 1911, under the direction of his son Georg Hornemann Jr. and grandson Georg Hornemann III. Today, Hornemann's pieces are highly sought after by collectors and are considered some of the finest examples of German silverwork.
