Jugs and pots in a row!

Svend Weihrauch

Svend Weihrauch’s tea set is a perfect example of art deco works at their very best. It easily measures up to the exquisite standards of the Belgian and French corpus works of the age. This sterling silver tea set features handles and a high conical cover knob in Bakelite. It was made in 1937 at Hingelberg’s silversmith’s workshop in Aarhus, i.e. nine years after Weihrauch joined the company. The set is estimated at DKK 35,000.

Frantz Jørgen Hingelberg

Frantz Jørgen Hingelberg (a grandson of Frantz Hingelberg who established the company of that name in Aarhus) is the master behind this teapot with base from 1946 which has never been offered for sale before. He was apprenticed from A. Michelsen’s workshop, but also from his father’s company in which Svend Weihrauch was creative director at the time. The inspiration from Weihrauch is obvious in this particular work, since the use of ivory for handles and cover knob as well as the line in the handles is clearly in keeping with design of the age and Weihrauch’s ideas.

This teapot – the test piece with which Hingelberg finished his apprenticeship – was awarded a silver medal by the Copenhagen Trade Guild. It is estimated at DKK 20,000 – 30,000.

C.C. Herman

Silver works by C.C. Herman have long been underrated at auctions, and there is only sparse literature on this particular workshop. This service set in six parts was made to order in the 1940s, it is beautifully designed and simply radiates craftsmanship of the finest quality. It is made in sterling silver with ivory handles and is estimated at DKK 35,000 – 40,000.

Karl Gustav Hansen

Karl Gustav Hansen completed the test piece with which he finished his apprenticeship in 1934 - and a mere three years later the jug reproduced here came into being. With his predilection for corpus silver – and by way of his training at The School of Sculpture at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts - Karl Gustav Hansen managed to rethink corpus silver and change its traditional appearance into a more sculptural idiom. This jug is a fine example of Danish silver when it breaks new ground. It is only 14 centimetres tall, but nonetheless it weighs more than half a kilogramme! It is estimated at DKK 18,000 – 20,000.
