This elegant selection
is in the pattern called Cheri, produced by Frigast Denmark. Frigast were taken over by Gense around 1980. The modern design has a narrow handle with a decorative collar.
The pieces are marked Frigast Denmark and have the quality torch mark for silver plate used after 1932. The setting would have been designed around 1960. The knife blades are marked Solingen Frigast Denmark Stainless. This indicates the blades were made in Solingen Germany for Frigast.
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 selection comprises 3 hollow handled dinner knives, 7 large table spoons, a jam spoon, 3 teaspoons and 2 cake forks. As with other Danish setting knives are difficult to find and are priced around AU$45.00 each to purchase in Denmark.
Although used the pieces present really well with fine usage scratches. There is no wear and no loss of silver plate. The plating is bright and reflective. The stainless steel blades are well housed and show no movement.
