ABOUT PRODUCTID 12389
This cigar cutter from the 1960s illustrates the principles of German mid-century modern design, where functionality meets disciplined form. Crafted from silver-plated alpacca—a nickel silver alloy coated with a layer of silver—it displays a cool, subdued metallic sheen. The construction is based on a balanced rectangular body with clean, geometric lines. The handle features subtle linear engravings that enhance grip, while the integrated cutting mechanism—a circular opening and lever, also finished in silver—serves as the utilitarian detail. Visible rivets and precise joints attest to the quality of German industrial craftsmanship of the era. The surface bears light scratches and a gentle patina, but the overall condition remains very good, with no signs of major damage or repairs.This cutter echoes the voice of the 1960s—a time when even small everyday objects were designed with an eye for harmony between form and function. Its minimalist geometry and metallic coolness speak to a love of simplicity, yet also to a respect for detail. The subtle engraving on the handle seems to tell stories of gatherings and rituals; the cutting mechanism works with restrained precision, as a tool that has retained its character over decades.This piece could be displayed on a classic bar tray, alongside a glass decanter and a cigar collection, highlighting its collectible provenance. It would fit well in a home library or study furnished in mid-century modern style, paired with minimalist accessories and era-appropriate accents. It is worth combining with a wooden box or a black lacquered base to accentuate the silvery gleam of the metal.No detailed technical information or care instructions are provided. The surface shows minor traces of age—light scratches and patina—typical for vintage accessories from the mid-20th century.
