David-Andersen was a leading maker of silver in the Old Nordic taste, along with the firm of Tostrup. A related Viking revival ship-form centerpiece by Tostrup was designed by Torolf Prytz for the Paris Exposition of 1900 and is in the collection of the Oslo Kunstindustrimuseet (illustrated in David McFadden, ed., Scandinavian Modern Design 1880-1980, 1982, fig. 3, p.49 and in Annelies Krekel-Aalberse, ed., Art Nouveau and Art Deco Silver, 1989, fig. 227, p.228). David-Andersen made a pair of Viking revival candelabra designed by Gustav Gaudernack, illustrated in McFadden, op.cit., fig. 5, p. 53.
