MEMA GAB Gammal Dansk/Swedish Rose Silver Spoon

This silver spoon features the iconic 'Gammal Dansk' (Old Danish) or Swedish Rose pattern, a traditional design highly prevalent in Scandinavian households. The pattern is characterized by its intricate floral rose at the base of the handle and ornate scrollwork within the bowl. Traditionally, these items are crafted in sterling silver or high-grade silver plate.

The brand MEMA GAB represents the historical merger of Mema (originally from Lidköping) and GAB (Guldsmedsaktiebolaget from Stockholm). These companies have been central to Swedish silversmithing for generations. Today, the production and heritage are managed under the Gense umbrella, ensuring the continuation of traditional Swedish craftsmanship. Most of these pieces are manufactured in Eskilstuna, Sweden, which has a long-standing reputation as the center of Swedish cutlery and metalwork.

Ownership of the brand currently resides with the Swedish company AB Gense, which itself is part of the larger KA Rasmussen group. This corporate structure allows for the preservation of antique artisan designs while maintaining modern distribution channels throughout Europe.
