Know before you buy
The 1916 date marks the original creation of the 'Beaded' pattern by Georg Jensen himself. It is considered an iconic example of early 20th-century Art Nouveau design, making this piece a significant historical item for collectors of vintage silver.
The hammered surface is a signature Georg Jensen aesthetic that actually helps hide minor scratches and fingerprints better than a high-polish finish. However, you should still use a high-quality silver polish specifically designed for sterling silver to maintain its luster without damaging the texture.
While it is crafted to heirloom-quality standards and is durable enough for regular use, sterling silver is a softer metal than stainless steel. It is best reserved for special occasions and formal dining to preserve its finish and structural integrity over time.
Hand wash the fork in warm water with a mild, phosphate-free detergent and dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Store it in a tarnish-resistant cloth bag or a silver chest to minimize exposure to air and moisture, which cause tarnishing.
The 'Beaded' pattern is one of Georg Jensen's most classic and enduring designs. It is intended to complement other pieces within the Beaded collection, though its timeless Art Nouveau aesthetic often pairs well with other minimalist or vintage silver patterns.
