ABOUT PRODUCTID 2737
This set of six fruit knives, produced by Bracia Henneberg in Warsaw during the 1920s and 1930s, combines stainless steel blades with brass handles plated in silver. The handles are adorned with neoclassical motifs—vertical fluting and delicate reliefs in the form of garlands or laurel wreaths—typical of the Art Deco period. Each knife measures 16.5 cm in length; the construction is solid, with seamless transitions between blade and handle. The set is preserved in very good condition, displaying only minimal signs of age such as subtle patina or micro-scratches on the silver plating. There is a sense of restrained attention to detail and reverence for Warsaw’s silversmithing tradition in this set. The cool sheen of the silver-plated handles and the subtle matte finish of the blades evoke the calm ritual of serving fruit at family gatherings or intimate soirées. The decorative reliefs and balanced proportions suggest an object that bridges functionality with an artistic touch, carrying the atmosphere of a bygone era. The knives can be paired with classic white porcelain or simple glassware to highlight their decorative character. They work well on a table set with a natural linen tablecloth or surrounded by silver and glass fruit stands, creating a cohesive composition in an Art Deco or modern classic setting. It is worth combining them with subtle lighting—such as candles or a lamp with a warm glow—to accentuate the silver’s lustre and bring out the relief details of the handles. The set will find its place at festive dinners as well as in the everyday enjoyment of fruit desserts at home.
