Yes, this item is crafted from high-quality sterling silver, consistent with the heritage standards of the Georg Jensen Acorn collection.
Designed by Johan Rohde in 1915, the Acorn pattern is defined by its organic, understated aesthetic where the decorative elements are used specifically to accentuate the fork's structural form rather than overwhelm it.
While the Acorn pattern has a distinct, classic aesthetic, its clean lines and organic shape allow it to pair surprisingly well with contemporary table settings, adding a touch of historical elegance to a modern mix.
To maintain the luster of your sterling silver, hand wash the fork with mild soap and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges and store it in a tarnish-resistant cloth or case when not in use.
