134 Piece Acanthus Pattern Sterling Silver Canteen of Cutlery & Flatware by Georg Jensen
The Service
This extensive 134 piece canteen of silver flatware and cutlery was made by the famous Georg Jensen and is in Acanthus pattern which is one of the most sought after patterns of the 20th century. The service provides for ten pieces for 12 place settings with a good array of serving items.
All the pieces were made by Georg Jensen and mostly carry the post 1945 Jensen workshop Sterling mark
The service includes 12 of each of the standard pieces for a formal 108 piece table setting, with the addition of 12 useful round-bowled fruit spoons. There is an excellent range of serving items including a three-piece carving set (2 knives and a fork), three beautifully elegant ladles, a selection of serving spoons and some useful extras.
Acanthus Pattern
This pattern was designed by Johan Rohde in 1917 and is also known by its Danish name of Dronning. It has a stylized acanthus motif to the terminal of the ridged stem. It has a lovely elegant feel that has inevitably lead to it becoming one of the most popular and highly sought after of all Jensen flatware patterns.
Georg Jensen
Georg Jensen was a Danish silversmith who opened his first silver workshop in 1904 in Copenhagen. He was to become the most renown maker of silverware in the World with shops in London, Paris, New York, Berlin and Stockholm. His company embraced the Art Deco movement of the 1920’s and 30’s and some of his most important patterns were designed during this period. Many of the Jensen flatware patterns have endured the test of time and remain highly popular today.
