UsedLikeNew : Excellent condition
Designed in 1947 by Harold Nielsen, the Old Danish cutlery pattern is a symbolic representation of Denmark's occupation during WWII. The accentuated, clean lines of the double fluted pattern and the balanced distribution of weight symbolize the spirit and proud resistance of the Danish nation. The Old Danish pattern has a long association with Danish royalty; King Christian X, who never fled his kingdom during occupation, used the cutlery at state banquets and more recently it was given as a wedding gift to Their Highnesses The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess of Denmark in 2004.
Harold Nielsen's incredible talent originated some of the most successful designs from the Georg Jensen company during the 1920's and 30's. He is a story of Georg Jensen legacy, as he started at an early age and grew into an expert craftsman with the company. As he grew his work, he left the Art Nouveau style and developed his own style that incorporated the Art Deco design but was his own interpretation of it. After Georg Jensen passed, he made it his life's work to carry on the work and spent more than a half century at Georg Jensen.
