Bertel Gardberg Triennale Rosewood Flatware Service 100 Pieces
Located in Orimattila, FI
Bertel Gardberg
(Finland, 1916-2007)
Bertel Gardberg, BERTEL GARDBERG, A FLATWARE SERVICE, 100 PIECES. Triennale.
Manufactured by Fiskars. Designed in 1956-57.
27 forks, 24+6 knives, 17+21+5 spoons.
Minor wear.
Bertel Gardberg was born in Tammisaari in 1916. He was related to goldsmith Erik Gardberg, who worked in Helsinki from 1829 to 1854, and Fabergé subcontractor Alexander Gardberg. Bertel's doctor-father Otto Gardberg was also a skilled carpenter. His mother was Sally Aschan.
Career
In his youth, Gardberg worked on a merchant ship. There he learned how little space there was for purposeless objects. Gardberg found his own field when he was selected in 1938 as a student of the first course of the Helsinki Goldsmith's School. At the same time, he also studied metal forging in the evening course of the Central School of Arts and Crafts and in the evening course of the Vocational Training Institute. Gardberg graduated from goldsmith school in 1941, but frontline service in the Winter and Continuation War slowed down the start of his career.
Danish silversmithing was well known, so Gardberg went to Denmark to perfect his skills. He worked there, among other things, in A. Michelsen's gold and silversmith's studio and took with him from Denmark an appreciation of craftsmanship and finished quality.
In 1949, Gardberg established his own office in Helsinki at the corner of Mannerheimintie and Nordenskiöldinkatu. In the same year, he received the right to stamp. In 1955, he moved to Isol Roobertinkatu, where his studio was until 1966.
From 1953 to 1954, Gardberg was the designer and finally the chief designer of Galeries Lafayette. The 1954 Milan Triennale gold medal was awarded to Gardberg for his designs of steel serving platters, cutlery and a pewter cigarette case. He also received awards from the triennial in 1957 and 1960.
In 1960, Gardberg received a rare Golden Ring of Honor from the German goldsmith's art society. In 1961, he received the Lunning Award, the most prestigious honor of Nordic designers. In the same year, he also received the Pro Finlandia Award.
From 1966 to 1971, Gardberg lived in Ireland, where he was founding the Kilkenny Design Workshops...

Antique and Vintage Silver, Flatware and Silver Plate
While early utensils were often shaped from clay, wood or bone, silversmiths later crafted flatware from precious metal. In the 19th century, mass production of electroplated flatware made silver utensils accessible to the middle class. Now, antique and vintage silver, flatware and silver-plate objects for dining and the home are heritage pieces reflecting this history of design.
Silver spoons were so prized in 15th-century England that people would travel with the valuable utensils. Forks in the 17th century were frequently made with steel and likewise only available to the upper class. Silver flatware continued to be produced in small workshops in the 18th century and was a luxury reserved for the elite. When George I came to the throne in 1714, the silver dining service — including plates, dishes, soup tureens, chargers and sauceboats — became all-important.
Innovative manufacturing techniques such as the electroplating process in the 19th century would transform silversmithing with industrialization. Sheffield plate was used from 1750 to 1880 and involved a fusion method to fabricate everything from knife handles to serveware. French industrial chemist Henri de Ruolz discovered a gilding and silver-plating process for metals in 1841, with the silver-like results so celebrated that Napoleon III ordered a 3,000-piece flatware set. The expansion of table service in the Victorian era also led to an increasing number of flatware and serving pieces in a canteen, or cutlery chest, all with specific uses, from toast forks to butter picks.
While affordable metal flatware is widely available today, historic brands including Gorham Manufacturing Company — whose legendary contribution to the history of silver making started in 1831 — and Christofle continue the tradition of silver and silver-plate flatware.
