Margrethe
The Margrethe pattern of 1966 is a collaboration between Danish architects/designers Rigmor Andersen and Annelise Bjorner. Queen Margrethe of Denmark has a service in this pattern. The knives in this pattern were made in two versions, a classical knife design and a “pistol” version, where the handle is turned 90 degrees.
Mid-Century Modern is an artistic design period that flourished from the mid-1930’s to the mid-1960’s. ‘Modern’ pieces are minimalistic and are characterized by their organic and streamlined forms and lack of ornamental details.
