A. Michelsen Christmas Fork 1927 Gilded Sterling Silver with Enamel

Anton Michelsen Christmas Fork 1927 Gilded Sterling Silver with Enamel Professor Hans Tegner chose the serpentine spire of the Church of Our Savior as this year's motif. The spire was (almost) completed in 1750, the staircase needed work, and it was not until 1752 that King Frederik V was able to climb the staircase. The motif is depicted with the serpentine spire against the dark blue sky over the rooftops of Christianhavn.
