Description:

Georg Jensen sterling silver, Acanthus butter knife, length 15 cm. 5 7/8 inches. Fine condition, normal signs of use. Post 1945.
Designed by the painter, Johan Rohde, and produced since 1917. Johan Rohde , who lived for a time in Italy, was inspired by the antique style. This shows in the cutlery's pillar shaped handle which ends in a Corinthian capital with acanthus leaves. Johan Rohde began his close and lifelong association with Georg Jensen in 1906.
