ABOUT PRODUCTID 12380
This cigar cutter from the 1960s exemplifies German craftsmanship in the spirit of mid-century modern design. Made from silver-plated alpacca, it displays a cool silvery metallic hue with a slightly matte finish, accented by subtle reflective highlights along the edges and moving parts. The geometric, engraved pattern on the handle emphasizes the minimalist, functional nature of the object. Its pivoting blade mechanism and visible, solid mechanical joints give the piece a distinct yet balanced presence. The predominantly smooth surface contrasts with the fine texture of the engraving, and the tool’s proportions are harmonious and compact. The condition is very good—there are only minor spots of tarnish and patina near the blade and hinge, with no major damage or visible modern repairs.This cutter carries the quiet voice of an era that valued simplicity and utility over superfluous ornamentation. Its metallic form, though small, brings with it the spirit of the 1960s: a hint of restrained coolness paired with a readiness to celebrate everyday rituals. The linear engraving echoes the ordered rhythm of modernism, while the gentle patina suggests the discreet passage of time—as if this object, a silent companion to evenings with cigars, could recount stories of gatherings and conversations over drifting smoke.It can be paired with a collection of other vintage smoking accessories or displayed on an oak tray alongside whiskey glasses, forming a refined, masculine corner in a study or living room. The cutter works well in mid-century modern settings, as well as in eclectic collector’s interiors, where metallic accents highlight the rawness and character of the space. It is worth combining with dark wood, leather, or colored glass elements to showcase its material contrast and timeless form.
