This beautiful Danish setting was made by Carl F Christiansen Silver Workshop, Copenhagen. The pattern is called Margit. The workshop closed in 1963. The 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 is also a small cake server. There are 33 pieces.
The silver plate to these pieces is in lovely condition with only fine usage scratches.
This is a beautiful Danish setting and would grace any table with elegance and style.
