AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant and substantial Norwegian cake server made by the renowned silversmith J. Tostrup, Oslo, dated 1916.
Crafted in solid 830 silver, this large serving piece reflects the refined Scandinavian silverwork of the early 20th century, combining restrained elegance with excellent proportions and craftsmanship.
The server features a beautifully shaped, heavy blade and a finely detailed handle with subtle Rococo-inspired ornamentation. The exceptional weight distribution and distinctly head-heavy construction clearly indicate a ceremonial cake server rather than a standard serving utensil.
This exceptional cake server is crafted entirely from solid silver, with both the handle and the blade made of silver.
