Informazioni sull’articolo

Anton Michelsen Gilded Sterling Silver Gilt Christmas Spoon, Egill Jacobsen is the Designer, 1980 The 1980 Anton Michelsen Christmas Spoon is gilded sterling silver with an enamel handle. It was designed by Egill Jacobsen. Egill Jacobsen painted masks, and the decoration here is no exception. The handle is in the style of Picasso depicting a harlequin in a cubist, surreal manner with parts of the face in different colors and sections. Gilded lines divide the decoration into irregular fields of dark green, yellow and white against a lighted green. . Dimensions: 6 1/2 inches long x 1 1/2 inches wide x 3/4 inches high Egill Jacobsen (16 December 1910 – 21 April 1998) was a Danish painter who became a professor at the Royal Danish Academy. Born in Copenhagen, Jacobsen studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Kræsten Iversen and Peder Hald (1932-33). His earliest paintings were inspired by traditional Danish landscape painting under the influence of Albert Gottschalk but after visiting Paris in 1934 when he experienced the work of Matisse and Picasso, he began to create Abstract images of brightly coloured beak-shaped masked figures inspired by ethnographic art. He went on to paint a series of works devoid of any motifs in which colour was the only criterion for expression. From 1940, he produced more masked images with geometrical shapes depicting teeth, eggs and other such features in pure spectral colours. The concept of a spoon being a work of art is clearly seen in the spoon’s production. A. Michelsen has documented that it takes 38 different hand operations to create a single spoon. Each spoon must be cut with special cutting tools, sawed and drilled by hand, then filed and polished before enameling. Each spoon is enameled and baked three separate times before being gilded and buffed to a high polish. Reference: Anton Michelsen, a renowned Danish silversmith, established his workshop, A. Michelsen, in 1841. His company became the official court jeweler for the Danish monarchy in 1848, producing high-quality silver objects and jewelry. One of A. Michelsen’s most notable traditions was the creation of annual enameled Christmas spoons, which began in 1910. These spoons were crafted with intricate designs and fine enameling, often featuring contributions from respected silversmiths and designers. Over the decades, the Christmas spoons became highly collectible, reflecting both Danish craftsmanship and evolving artistic styles. In 1968, Royal Copenhagen acquired the Michelsen factory, continuing the tradition of producing collectible spoons and forks under the Michelsen name. Today, these spoons remain sought-after items among collectors, celebrated for their artistry and historical significance. Of all of A. Michelsen’s works, perhaps the best remembered and most certainly the most collected was its line of Christmas spoons. The concept of collecting Christmas plates and spoons was born in Denmark when Bing & Grondahl offered its first Christmas plate in 1895 followed by Royal Copenhagen’s first Christmas plate in 1908. Finally, in 1910 A. Michelsen offered the world its first Christmas spoon and fork. By 1910, Michelsen had a fine history of making commemorative spoons, so when it released its first Christmas spoon, it did not mark the spoon with the year “1910” on it. In fact, A. Michelsen did not intend to produce a line of Christmas spoons, but rather it produced a one-off Christmas spoon in 1910 that proved so popular the company decided to issue a new Christmas spoon every year in the years ahead, marking each of the successive spoons with the year it was manufactured. From 1910 until 1967, A. Michelsen continued producing and offering for sale Christmas spoons for all the years the spoons had been designed; however, in 1968, this stopped. 1968 marked the year that all of the past year’s Christmas spoon dies were destroyed, and a decision was made to cast only that year’s, 1968, Christmas spoon. This decision to limit the production of its Christmas spoons truly marked Michelsen Christmas spoons as collector items since they were now offered in limited edition only. (Ref: NY10814-klxx)
