Copenhagen, marks of Caspar Julius Worm, 1817.

Caspar Julius Worm was one of the most important Danish silversmiths of the late Empire period - and alongside the Copenhagen court goldsmith Nicolai Christensen, he took on numerous commissions from the royal family - including for the extensive silverware ordered in 1829 on the occasion of Princess Caroline's wedding to Prince Frederik Ferdinand.
