The Service
This is extensive 153 piece canteen of silver flatware and cutlery is in one of the most sought after patterns of the 20th century. The service provides for twelve pieces for 12 place settings with an array of serving items and optional extras.
All the pieces were made by Georg Jensen and bear the post 1945 Jensen workshop Sterling mark.
The service includes 12 of each of the standard pieces for a formal 84 piece table setting, plus added extra pieces in dozen runs for use on suitable occasions.
Acorn Pattern
This pattern was designed by Johan Rohde in 1917 and is also known by its Danish name of Konge. It has a stylized acorn motif surmounting two scrolls to the terminal of the ridged stem. It has a lovely elegant feel that has inevitably lead to it become 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.
