Northern Lights International Sterling Silver Flatware Set Service 43 Pc Dinner

About the Item

Dinner size matte finish Northern lights by International sterling silver post-war Scandinavian-modern design flatware set, 43 pieces. This pattern was designed by Alfred Kintz, circa 1946. This set includes: Eight dinner size knives, 9 3/4" Eight dinner size forks, 7 5/8" Eight salad forks, 3-tine, 6 1/4" Eight teaspoons, 6" Eight cream soup spoons, 6 1/2" One serving spoon, 8 1/2" One pierced serving spoon, 8 1/2" One flat handle master butter, 7 1/8" Includes bonus brand new storage chest - styles vary. Excellent condition, with no monograms. This set will be lightly professionally polished prior to shipping. Relatively unknown but 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. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!
