FAQs

Designed in 1915 by Johan Rohde for Georg Jensen, the Acorn pattern features understated Art Deco motifs combined with organic forms inspired by Scandinavian nature. It became one of the most recognized post-industrial silver designs produced throughout the twentieth century.

Mid-century Danish silver tableware was predominantly cast or hand-hammered using sterling silver (925 parts per 1000 purity). Items such as sugar tongs often utilized a central pivot hinge or flexible bow structure with hand-finished decorative motifs at the handle ends.

Authentic pieces carry stamped hallmarks, including the official Georg Jensen dotted oval mark, the standard 925S purity stamp, and occasionally secondary date codes or designer initials denoting the specific production era.

Silver sugar tongs are arranged alongside vintage tea trays, placed on a marble sideboard top, or displayed inside modern glass cabinets paired with contemporary ceramic coffee services.

Sterling silver should be wiped with a soft cotton cloth and cleaned gently using specialist non-abrasive silver polish to clear oxidisation. Store in anti-tarnish fabric pouches away from direct sunlight, rubber, and high humidity.
