0001. Herald Angels [1953] Michelsen Souvenir Spoon. Enameled & gilded
BL: plain. Lightly gilded..
MK: A. Michelsen. Copenhagen
Metal: Stamped – Sterling. Danmark.
Length: 6 ½ inches.
Cost: $49.00
Anton Michelsen opened his first workshop in Denmark in 1841 which very quickly became the leading firm of gold and silversmiths. He was a significant influence on Danish jewelry design during the 19th and early 20th century. He became Crown Jeweler and Insignia Maker to the King in 1848. Producing insignia involved the fine art of enameling, a specialty the A. Michelsen refined over the years. The idea of making an annual Christmas set designed by a new artist each year started in 1910. Every year since 1910 A. Michelsen has commissioned a noted Danish artist to create a new Christmas set in glowing enamel and 24 carat gold plate on sterling silver. Anton's son Carl started the production of the spoons and forks using enamel. Carl's son Poul, designed two of the earliest sets. Poul's son Jorgen, created the 1956 set. These spoons reflect a long and cherished tradition involving the finest artists of their time. The 1913 set by Poul Michelsen was the first to use enamel. Due to the supply shortages during World War II, very little enamel was used during those years.
Since 1910, various well-known artists have offered their talents to decorate annual Christmas spoons and matching forks. The cutlery was originally introduced by A. Michelsen and in 2003 Georg Jensen took over the name and production of the Annual Christmas Cutlery. The shape and form of the Jensen spoon and fork continue the A. Michelsen tradition.
