Kitchen copperware like this were often used generation after generation. Examples here are the 18th century candlestiks and the kettle from King Christian VIII of Denmark. Kitchen copperware was of course also supplemented or renewed. Based on the monograms on the individual parts, most of the copperware originates from King Frederik VIII and Queen Lovisa of Denmark as well as King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark. Both couples had their kitchens refurnished in respectively Frederik VIII's Palace and Christian VIII's Palace in connection to their weddings in 1869 and 1898. The kitchen in Frederik VIII's Palace is - including recipes from it - also mentioned in: Hans Andersen, “I Enkedronningens køkken på Amalienborg” (In the kitchen of the Dowager Queen at Amalienborg), 2012.
