ABOUT PRODUCTID 11631
This German bread knife from the 1930s represents utilitarian craftsmanship in the spirit of Art Deco. Crafted from silver-plated brass, it features a cool, silvery hue with a subtly matte finish. The handle is rectangular with gently rounded edges, adorned with subtle linear accents at the junction with the blade. The broad blade tapers smoothly towards a rounded tip, designed for comfortable slicing. The construction is solid, with balanced proportions and a seamless transition between handle and blade, reflecting the quality of pre-war metalwork. The surface bears fine scratches and a soft patina typical of its era. The knife is preserved in very good condition, with no significant damage or signs of heavy wear.The form of this piece speaks in the calm tones of the 1930s, when practicality merged with modernist restraint. Its geometry and understated decoration recall the German vision of Art Deco, where even everyday tools had a place in the aesthetic landscape. The silvery shade, matte reflections, and traces of age compose a quiet narrative of morning tables—a world that found beauty in simple gestures.It can be combined with other table accessories from the period—silver-plated cutlery, porcelain with geometric motifs, or glassware with clean lines. The knife would suit Art Deco, modernist, or eclectic interiors—paired with a white tablecloth and black-silver accents to highlight its historical provenance. In minimalist settings, it may serve as a subtle vintage accent, while in a collector's display cabinet, it stands as a discreet witness to pre-war craftsmanship.
