87 Piece Georg Jensen Blok Pattern Flatware Set

A sterling silver flatware set comprising of eighty seven pieces. This very full and diverse set was made by the leading name in Danish silver; Georg Jensen. This, the Blok pattern by Georg Jensen reflects the quiet confidence of Scandinavian modernism. The Blok pattern, known in some markets as Acadia, was introduced by Georg Jensen in 1934 and designed by the Danish sculptor and silversmith Just Andersen. Created at the height of the Art Deco movement, it marked a deliberate departure from the flowing, organic forms that had defined Georg Jensen’s earlier work. The pattern was discontinued in 1972, so it has not been available for purchase for nearly 55 years. The design departed from the flowing Art Nouveau lines that had defined Georg Jensen’s earliest silverwork in favor of a cleaner, architectural aesthetic. The pattern embodies the Danish principle that beauty should be found in simplicity, with restrained geometric forms and carefully balanced proportions that feel as relevant today as when they were first produced. Founded in Copenhagen in 1904 by Georg Jensen, the Georg Jensen workshop earned an international reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design. While the firm’s early years were shaped by sculptural, nature-inspired forms, the postwar period saw Danish design embrace modernism. Blok emerged from this evolution, combining crisp linear detailing with the superb weight, finish, and balance for which Georg Jensen flatware is renowned. Like the best Scandinavian design, Blok is understated rather than decorative. Every line serves a purpose, creating a pattern that feels substantial in the hand while remaining visually effortless. It is a design that sits comfortably alongside both traditional and contemporary table settings, making it one of Georg Jensen’s enduring expressions of Danish design philosophy, where craftsmanship, function, and timeless form exist in perfect balance The items are marked with the post 1945 Jensen mark, as well as Denmark and Sterling Made in Denmark, Circa 1960's.
