This beautiful Danish setting was made by Carl F Christiansen Silver Workshop, Copenhagen. The pattern is called Krone Monster which translates as Crown Design. The workshop closed in 1963. Most of these pieces are also marked with the Danish quality torch mark with the letters FDG to the centre indicating a manufacturing date 1928-1932. After this time the letters were dropped. This is an early setting around 90 years old. This seems hard to believe by the quality and condition of the pieces.
We have found that the quality of Danish silver plate cutlery is very high. The silver plating is thick and pieces wear extremely well. The patterns are timeless in their appeal and so different from other designs generally found in Australia. We just love them.
The set comprises a 8 place setting with 32 pieces including the hard to find dinner knives. There are 8 smooth bladed hollow handled dinner knives, 8 dinner forks, 8 large Continental soup spoons, 8 dessert spoons. There are 32 pieces.
The silver plate to these pieces is in lovely condition with only fine usage scratches. The dinner forks show some spot loss of plating to the side edges. This is something we often see in older cutlery from all over the world and assume it is something to do with the way the pieces are plated. It appears like the plating thins and sometimes is missing. It is minor and can be seen from the side only. Apart from this there is no wear or other loss of the silver plate to any of the pieces.
This is a beautiful Danish setting and would grace any table with elegance and style.
