How do you identify Danish silver marks?

1 Answer
How do you identify Danish silver marks?
To identify Danish silver marks, first look for tower emblems. Prior to 1961, solid silver wares produced in Denmark featured a three-tower hallmark. In 1961, the marking changed to a letter and number system, with pieces displaying either “830S” or “925S.” Maker's hallmarks can also be useful. By researching the maker's mark, you can determine if the company was known for producing its pieces in Denmark. Some well-known Danish silversmiths include Georg Jensen, Aarre and Krogh, Horsens Sølvvarefabrik, Anton Michelsen, Lynggaard and Meka. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can also be helpful when identifying Danish silver. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Danish sterling silver.
