Excellent and RARE find. This hefty bangle was designed by Willy H Jacob Krogmar (WKr.) for Andreas Mikkelsen's company A/M Design in the early 1970's. During the 8 years A. Mik was solo from the Georg Jensen Silver Company before his return. Fully hallmarked and in excellent condition with very minor wear - comparable to age. I've only every scene one like this for sale and only a handful of any pieces from this period with the A/M Design marks. Exciting collector's piece! Will be professionally polished before shipping.

 

ANDREAS MIKKELSEN
Andreas Mikkelsen grew up in the town of Handbjerg, catching fish and lobsters which he sold to a nearby hotel. In his youth he moved to Copenhagen where he trained at the Niels Brock School before attending the Copenhagen Business School and finally taking a career as a sales manager for Georg Jensen in 1963. He quickly progressed at the silversmithy and in 1970 established his own design company, A/M Design. He developed his own jewelry for eight years before returning to Georg Jensen and in 1983 became the artistic director after it merged with Holmegaard Glassworks. Many of his jewellery designs were also incorporated into the Georg Jensen repertoire whilst he seems to have retained the copyright for them, which may seem unusual, but if you are the managing director, you can always make exceptions. Later, he moved to London to design watches and jewelry independently both A/M Design and Georg Jensen and in 1992 he was awarded both the Kaj Bojesen Prize as well as the Design Plus Award. Andreas Mikkelsen died on July 26th, 2008 at the age of 79.
