Zilverfabriek Voorschoten

Description: a very beautiful cutlery set, consisting of six dessert forks, designed by Christina Ehrlich. Christa Ehrlich was a originally Austrian designer who from 1922 to 1925 pursued training at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule of Josef Hoffmann. For the important international exhibition Europäisches Kunstgewerbe in Leipzig (1927) she established the Austrian section there. There she met Carel Begeer (1883–1956), director of the Royal Dutch Silverware Companies (KNEB), who invited her to design modern silver tableware for the factory in Voorschoten. Her designs proved to be a great success and are still praised and regarded as exemplary of the so-called ‘constructive’ or ‘modernist’ style that was in fashion in the 1920s. She had a fondness for sparsely decorated products with clear, preferably geometric main forms. Christa Ehrlich remained with the silver factory until her retirement.
