Style It With:
Pair this Sigvard Bernadotte fish service with pieces from our Vintage Flatware & Tableware collection and complete your entertaining display with accents from our Vintage Bar Decor collection.
This vintage brass flatware was designed by Sigvard Bernadotte, one of Scandinavia's most celebrated industrial designers, whose work is admired for its refined simplicity and enduring functionality. Each piece bears the Scanline hallmark and was distributed by Broste Copenhagen, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design that define midcentury Scandinavian tableware.
Crafted from unlacquered brass, the knives and forks have developed a beautiful natural patina that enhances their warmth and character. Unlike lacquered finishes that remain static over time, unlacquered brass continues to age gracefully, creating a rich surface prized by collectors and designers alike.
Remarkably, the knives remained in their original protective plastic packaging until acquired, leaving them with virtually no signs of use. The matching forks are also in outstanding vintage condition, making this an increasingly difficult-to-find service for both collectors and those who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship at the table.
The elegant proportions, sculptural forms, and warm brass finish pair beautifully with white ironstone, handmade pottery, linen tablecloths, and natural wood, making this service equally suited for contemporary, Scandinavian, organic modern, and traditional interiors.
