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 design features a post modernism geometric design which in detail is a diagonal criss cross pattern with faint infill patterning to the central diamonds. It is called Harlekin, or to us Harlequin.
The set comprises an 8 place setting with 34 pieces. There are 8 stainless steel bladed hollow handled knives, 8 dinner forks, 8 table spoons, 8 teaspoons a soup or gravy ladle and a large serving fork. As with all our Danish sets the knives are the most elusive element. To purchase just the knives in Denmark the prices start from AUD$50.00 each.
The silver plate to these pieces is in very good condition with some minor usage scratches. There is no wear through to the plating or corrosion spots. This set will enhance any table setting for years to come.
