This elegant piece was designed by Henning Seidelin for Frigast Denmark. Henning Seidelin was a prominent famous Danish designer who studied at the Royal Danish Academy from 1917-1936. He began his career as a sculptor but soon turned to industrial design. His work encompassed many mediums and products range from silverware, cutlery, home-wares, lighting, furniture and ceramics. As with many Danish designers their skill ranges over many fields in their life time. Among others Henning designed for Georg Jensen, Hans Hansen, Frigast/Gense, Le Klint and Royal Copenhagen. This design was also produced by Gense after the company took over Frigast. This is a genuine vintage 1950's Frigast setting.
The design is called Kongleys and was first designed in the early 1950's. It has a sleek pattern with a shaped handle filled with a fine double criss-cross decoration.
