Carl Gustaf Jahnsson Sterling Silver Three-Piece Coffee Service, Sweden 1958
Located in Utrecht, NL
Silver coffee sets, or services, have been part of the urban lifestyle for many decades now. Much like tea, coffee has been offered as a “social meal”, as a fixed part of social interactions. This sterling silver set from 1958 is exemplary of Scandinavian modern design, and as such, is a timeless design.
The three pieces comprising this set include a tall coffee pot with a wood handle, a sugar bowl, and a creamer. The set is perfectly balanced aesthetically as the pot and sugar bowl both feature a silver finial with a ring on top, while the creamer follows the shape of the pot. The design clearly shows the ideals of modernist Swedish design: characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty, this set’s focus is on simple lines devoid of clutter. Furthermore, the combination of wood and silver gives the pieces an unmistakeably Scandinavian look. The set shows why Carl Gustaf Jahnsson and his eponymous company, C. G. Hallberg Jahnsson, were considered among the leading goldsmiths and jewellers, creating pieces for the Swedish Court. Their metal- and silverware is still sought after today. Matching hallmarks can be found on each piece, even on the lid of the sugar bowl indicating the sterling silver’s purity and the manufacturer.
The so-called Golden Age of Scandinavian design spanned from the 1930s to the 1970s, producing many of the designs now regarded as the ‘classics’ of the Scandinavian Modern aesthetic. This three-piece set belongs to this group of design, timeless thanks to its aesthetic and materials of the highest quality.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The silver has beautiful patina.

5.9 in W x 3.93 in D x 10.43 in H

About the designer:
Carl-Gustaf Hallberg Jahnsson, born July 29, 1935 in Engelbrekt parish, Stockholm, died October 21, 1994 in Adolf Fredrik parish, Stockholm, was a Swedish silversmith and designer.
Jansson studied for Sigurd Persson 1952-1957 and in Vienna 1957-1958 and in France 1962-1963. He established his own silver workshop in 1963. For Hornsberg Church he made a communion chalice in silver and for the cathedral in Linköping he created the sculpture The Tree of Life. As a designer, he was hired by Ikea, among others, where he designed the cutlery series Dragon and the service Rondo.
His company, C.G. Hallberg was a prominent Swedish goldsmiths and jewellers, jeweller to the Swedish Court. Its central store was located at Drottninggatan 6 in Stockholm. It is best known for its silverware and metalware which continue to fetch high prices in auctions today. In the early 20th century it was the largest jewellers in Scandinavia and one of Sweden's top firms; by 1961 it was still the largest jewellers in Sweden...

Vintage, New and Antique Sterling Silver
Dining and entertaining changed drastically when we began to set our tables with sterling silver for holiday gatherings, wedding receptions, engagement parties and, in some of today’s homes, everyday meals.
Often called the “Queen of metals,” silver has been universally adored for thousands of years. It is easy to see why it has always been sought after: It is durable, strong and beautiful. (Louis XIV had tables made entirely of silver.) Sterling silver is an alloy that is made of 92.5 percent silver — the “925” stamp that identifies sterling-silver jewelry refers to this number. The other 7.5 percent in sterling silver is typically sourced from copper.
Neoclassical-style sterling-silver goods in Europe gained popularity in the late 18th century — a taste for sterling-silver tableware as well as tea sets had taken shape — while in the United States, beginning in the 19th century, preparing the dinner table with sterling-silver flatware had become somewhat of a standard practice. Indeed, owning lots of silver goods during the Victorian era was a big deal. Back then, displaying fine silver at home was a status symbol for middle-class American families. And this domestic silver craze meant great profitability for legendary silversmith manufacturers such as Reed & Barton, Gorham Manufacturing Company and the International Silver Company, which was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898, a major hub of silver manufacturing nicknamed “Silver City.”
Today, special occasions might call for ceremonial silver designed by Tiffany & Co. or the seductive sterling-silver cutlery from remarkable Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, but there really doesn’t have to be an event on the calendar to trot out your finest tableware.
Event- and wedding-planning company maestro Tara Guérard says that some “investment pieces,” such as this widely enamored alloy, should see everyday use, and we’re inclined to agree.
“Sterling-silver flatware is a must-have that you can use every single day, even to eat cereal,” she says. “Personally, I want a sterling-silver goblet set for 12 to 20; I would use them every time I had a dinner party. Ultimately, there are no criteria for buying vintage pieces: Buy what you love, and make it work.”
Whether you’re thinking “ceremonial” or “cereal,” browse a versatile collection of vintage, new and antique sterling-silver wares on 1stDibs today.
