Georg Jensen Akkeleje Sterling Silverware Set for 12

An exceptional early Georg Jensen sterling silver flatware service in the Akkeleje pattern (Design No. 77, introduced 1918). Complete large sets in this pattern are rare; it is even more unusual that nearly all pieces date from the same period, late 1920s to early 1930s. The service includes 50 serving pieces, several extremely rare, including forms we have not previously encountered. This is not an assembled collection and has remained in one family since originally purchased.
