Designed by Norwegian industrial modernist Tias Eckhof in 1958 for Lundftofte, the Fuga (Latin for “flight”) stainless steel flatware is scarce, and the gold plated service exceedingly rare. I believe the pieces are gilded in 22k gold.

The spoons of the Fuga cutlery feature mirror-polished bowls with very subtle beaks-tips. The forks have long, mirror-polished paddles and short tines. The hard edges of the handles of the spoons and forks taper to attenuated necks with pendulous heads. The knives have shiny, ungilded stainless steel blades. All pieces have satin-finished handles, the soft sheen of which contrast the gleaming tops.

Each piece of silverware is stamped to the back: "Lundtofte Stainless Denmark".

There are light signs of wear from use on all the pieces and significant gold loss on two of the larger forks and on the handle of one butter knife (see last pic), front and back; structurally, all the pieces are in good condition and display well.

Set is for 6 place settings, including:

• 6 Dinner forks 7 5/8"

• 6 Salad forks 6 3/4"

• 6 Soup spoons 7 1/2"

• 7 Five o'clock teaspoons 5 5/8"

• 6 Dinner knives 8 3/8”

• 2 Butter knives 5 3/4”

Tracked shipping is included, but if buyer would like insurance, we can arrange that separately.
