ABOUT PRODUCTID 12223
This set of six knives from the 1950s, produced in Sweden, embodies the mid-century modern design ethos with a focus on material honesty and ergonomic form. Each handle is crafted from Bakelite in a marbled brown tone, featuring transitions from caramel to deep chocolate and unique organic veining enhanced by a semi-gloss finish. The rounded, gently tapered handles reflect the understated functionality typical of the era, while a metal ferrule marks the transition to the blade, adding both structural and decorative value. The blades, likely stainless steel, retain a matte surface with visible patina, faint discolorations, and fine scratches consistent with age and use. The construction is cohesive and robust. The set is preserved in very good condition, showing only minor surface marks on the blades typical for its vintage.These knives carry the spirit of the 1950s, when Bakelite symbolized innovation and utilitarian objects were elevated to the status of design artifacts. The marbled browns and subtle sheen of the handles evoke images of tables where everyday rituals were honored. The patinated blades and organic lines offer a narrative of domestic gatherings from decades past—a time when modernity was tempered by restraint and function harmonized with aesthetics.This set could be displayed openly on a kitchen shelf or within a glass-fronted cabinet, especially in interiors inspired by mid-century modern or in eclectic collector’s spaces. It may be paired with period porcelain, solid wood cutting boards, or hand-glazed ceramics to accentuate its historical provenance. In a living room, surrounded by other vintage accessories, the set creates a quiet detail for those who appreciate genuine relics of the past.No additional technical information or care instructions are provided. The set requires no special treatment beyond gentle cleaning of the Bakelite surfaces and metal blades.
