This cigar cutter, crafted from silver-plated alpacca in 1960s Germany, embodies the minimalist sensibility of mid-century modern design. The main material—alpacca, an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc, silver-plated—gives a cool, silvery tone with a matte finish. The construction features a robust rectangular handle with rounded ends, subtly adorned with linear engravings for both decorative and practical grip enhancement. The circular cigar aperture and precise, pivoting cutting mechanism reflect a strictly functional approach. Fine striations and light, linear surface marks add to its authentic vintage appeal, while the mechanism remains fully operational. Condition is very good, with only minor signs of use and no significant damage or repairs.This piece speaks in the rational language of 1960s modernism: forms dictated by function, free from unnecessary ornament, showing respect for both material and clarity. The metallic coolness of silver-plated alpacca recalls scenes in gentlemen’s clubs, where every accessory held both utility and meaning. Subtle engraving, a smooth surface, and mechanical precision evoke an era when cigar accessories were not only tools but also silent markers of refined taste.The cutter could be placed on a home bar tray with decanters and glasses, or as a discreet accent on a desk in a study—highlighting an appreciation for timeless objects. It may be paired with other metal vintage accessories—a period lighter, a brass ashtray, or a leather cigar case—creating a cohesive arrangement in the spirit of mid-century modern. Suitable for a collector’s library or contemporary interiors where detail and the story behind objects are valued.No additional technical information or care guidelines are provided
