Holger Jacobsen (b. Odense 1876, d. København 1960)
A long bench made of stained beech. Seat and back of wicker stained beech. Made 1936. H. 85 cm. L. 205.5 cm. D. 47 cm.
Holger Jacobsen was a Danish architect whose main efforts lie within neoclassicism. His best-known work is Stærekassen, which was made for the Royal Theatre's new stage. He is also known as a used “cemetery architect” and has designed for many Danish churches, including Bispebjerg, Vestre, Assistens and Sundby Kirkegård.
Provenance: Copenhagen Cemeteries
The benches have most recently been in and come directly from the chapel at Assistens Kirkegård. The benches are presumably made for and have stood in a chapel at either Assistens, Vestre or Bispebjerg Kirkegårde.
Condition Report:Wear due to age and use, including scratches, marks, notches and chips.
