12 7-Pc Place Settings Jensen PARALLEL Sterling Silver

Extremely rare set of twelve 7-piece place settings in Georg Jensen's wonderful Art Deco "Parallel" or "Relief" pattern. Designed in 1931 by Jensen's brother-in-law O. Gundlach-Pedersen, this pattern makes the most of Art Deco geometry and severity. The plain surfaces are relieved only by a series of stepped parallel lines near the ends of the handles. The shapes of the bowls and tines are somewhat elongated to add to the streamlined look. Each piece is stamped with the post-1945 hallmark. This pattern has not been produced since 1976, and is among the most difficult Jensen patterns to find. Each place setting comprises a dinner fork, salad/dessert fork, teaspoon, place spoon, cream soup spoon, dinner knife and butter spreader.

Origin: Denmark, 1945-76. Condition: excellent, no monograms. Total Weight: 4,188.00 grams.
