About the Item

Important American silver designer Alfred G. Kintz began working at International silver around 1910 and retired in 1959. There was an excellent article done on Alfred Kintz: "Alfred G. Kintz: An American Designer" by Patricia F. Singer, in Silver Magazine, (September/October 1986, pp. 14-19). Kintz created many important flatware designs including Prelude and Royal Danish, two of the best selling flatware patterns of the 20th century. In 1928, he introduced 3 famous Art Deco designs, including an earlier version of Northern Lights. The later Northern Lights design, which Kintz patented in 1946, is radically different from its predecessor. The new design features elements of Scandinavian Modern (& Georg Jensen) influence that was beginning to be felt in the United States after the war. This set includes: Monumental Dinner and Luncheon Size glossy finish Northern Lights by International sterling silver post-war Scandinavian-modern design flatware set, 121 pieces. This pattern was designed by Alfred Kintz, circa 1946. 12 dinner size knives, 9 3/4" 12 dinner size forks, 7 5/8" 12 regular knives, 9" 12 regular forks, 7 1/8" 12 salad forks, 3-tine, 6 1/4" 12 teaspoons, 6" 12 cream soup spoons, 6 1/2" 12 hollow handle butter spreaders, all-sterling, 6" 12 cocktail forks, 5 1/2" 1 gravy ladle, 6" 1 serving spoon, 8 3/8" 1 cold meat fork, 8 3/4" 1 sugar spoon, 5 7/8" 1 flat handle master butter, 7 1/8" 1 pickle fork, 3-tine, 5 7/8" 1 lemon fork, 4 3/4" 1 salad set w/stainless implements, 10 1/2" 1 cake knife w/stainless blade, 12 1/4" 1 sauce ladle, 5 1/2" 1 jelly server, 6 1/2" 1 sugar tong, 4 1/4" Includes bonus brand new storage chest - styles vary.
