Georg Jensen Sterling Silver Bernadotte Cutlery Set 12 persons (156 pieces)

Prince Sigvaard Bernadotte (1907 - 2002) Prince Sigvard Bernadotte dreamed of becoming an actor, but his father (Gustav Adolf VI, King of Sweden) and his grandfather would not accept this, leading him to study art history at Upssala University in Sweden. His commitment was to design beautiful and stylish things that were practical, useful and usable. At the age of 23, he began designing for Georg Jensen Silversmiths. His style was elegant, distinguished with a preference for geometric figures, spheres, cylinders and funnels with engraved lines and vertical parallel lines, which was not modern Swedish style, a departure from the typical Danish Georg Jensen style.
