51 Piece Sterling Silver Cactus Pattern Dining Service by Georg Jensen

The Service

This is a beautiful 51 piece dining service of silver flatware and cutlery in probably the most sought after 20th century pattern. The service provides for the eight pieces for a three-course place setting for 6 people, together with a selection of serving items.

All piece were made by the famous Georg Jensen workshop with the majority of pieces dating to post 1945 and the other pieces from the 1930’s and early 1940’s – every piece is an exact match to each other and bears an appropriate Georg Jensen Sterling mark.

The table and dessert knives have silver handles and stainless steel blades to enable good cutting.

 

Cactus Pattern

This pattern was designed by Gundolph Albertus in 1930 and is also known by its Danish name of Kaktus. It has a stylized cactus motif low down on the stem and is so designed to give a streamlined effect so typical of the Art Deco period. Its simple, elegant beauty has inevitably lead to it becoming 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.
