Anton Michelsen opened his workshop in Gothersgade in Copenhagen in 1841
and by 1848 had become jeweler for the Danish College of Arms. After
rapidly expanding and moving to a new location, he was the only Danish
silversmith to show in the 1855 World Exhibition in Paris. In 1877,
following his death, his son, Carl Michelsen took over the firm and also
took the position of court jeweler in 1880. In 1892 for the wedding of
Christian IX and Queen Louise a five piece centerpiece including two 8
arm candelabras was crafted, showing the myth of King Skjold brought to
the land of the Danes as an infant. Arnold Krog, artistic director of
Den Koneglige Porcelainsfabrik, it was inspired by the current Art
Nouveau style of the time, incorporating artistic movements outside of
Denmark. Specializing and refining the art of enamelwork, his shop is
most well known for the annual Christmas spoons started in 1910. Also
designing for Anton Michelsen Silversmithy at the turn of the century
were the talents of Thorvald Bindesboll, Harald Slott-Moller, Georg Thylstrup, Johan
Rhode, and Svend Hammershoj.
