Georg Jensen Bernadotte Sterling Silverware Service for 12

An extensive vintage Georg Jensen sterling silver flatware service for twelve in the iconic Bernadotte pattern, complete with an unusually large selection of serving pieces.

Designed by Prince Sigvard Bernadotte in 1938, Bernadotte is one of Georg Jensen’s most celebrated Art Deco and Functionalist designs. Its distinctive fluted detailing, elegant proportions, and clean modernist lines have made it one of the most enduring patterns in Georg Jensen’s history.

This substantial 138-piece service was acquired from a private Danish estate and was produced in Denmark. In addition to a comprehensive place setting for twelve, the service includes numerous useful and increasingly difficult-to-find serving pieces, making this an exceptionally complete Bernadotte service suitable for both formal entertaining and everyday use.

The service consists of:

• 12 Dinner Forks – 7 1/2″ (19 cm)
• 12 Dinner Knives, long handle version – 8 5/8″ (21.8 cm)
• 12 Soup / Dinner Spoons – 7 5/8″ (19.8 cm)
• 12 Luncheon Forks – 7″ (17.8 cm)
• 12 Luncheon Knives, long handle version – 7 3/4″ (19.5 cm)
• 12 Dessert Spoons – 7 1/4″ (18.5 cm)

Extensive selection of serving pieces:

Total: 138 pieces.

The large number and variety of original Bernadotte serving pieces are a particularly desirable feature of this service, as assembling such a comprehensive group individually can be both difficult and costly.

Each complete silverware service purchased from Greg Pepin Silver includes complimentary new anti-tarnish felt storage bags for proper protection and storage.
