Georg Mendelssohn was a German craftsman, metal artist, and goldsmith. He was born in Dorpat in 1886 and died in Baden-Baden in 1955. He was a member of the Deutscher Werkbund (German Association of Craftsmen). In 1920, at a young age, he received a Grand Prix at the Brussels World's Fair. In 1933, he emigrated to France. His work had a lasting influence, particularly on goldsmiths, silversmiths, and metal sculptors at the Weimar, Dessau, and later the Bauhaus in Berlin, including Alfred Schäfter, Marianne Brandt, and Hans Przyrembel. His works are included in the collection of the Dresden Museum of Decorative Arts at Pillnitz Palace, among others.
