Oscar Gundlach-Pedersen (1887-1970) was born in Odense, and studied sculpture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In 1911, he started work at the Georg Jensen Silversmithy as Jensen’s last apprentice. After Jensen’s break from the silversmithy, he became assistant Director from 1926-54 where he was responsible for the new artistic direction of the company. His jewellery designs reflect the pared down functionalist designs prevalent at the time. He received a gold medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1925 and the Diplome d’honneru at L’Eposiiton Internationale in Paris in 1937
