This set of six fruit knives, crafted in Germany in the 1930s, embodies the classic European design of the era. Each knife is made from silver-plated white metal, displaying a cool, slightly matte silver tone with authentic patina and localized tarnish typical of aged silver. The handles are rounded and gently taper toward the blade, with a subtle, classic ring motif near the bolster—an homage to early 20th-century craftsmanship. The overall aesthetic is understated and functional, with an Art Deco influence evident in the clean lines and minimal ornamentation. The straight-edged blades show visible signs of use, including scratches, discoloration, and areas of oxidation, especially near the tips and edges. The handles retain a smooth surface and soft shine, free from cracks or major deformations. The set is in good condition, showing typical signs of age and use, with no visible modern repairs or replacements, confirming the originality of all components.These knives seem to recount the story of an era when the dining table set the stage for daily rituals and small gestures. Their simple yet considered forms echo the 1930s, a time when functionality met subtle refinement. The silver-plated metal, now gently oxidized, recalls decades past—afternoon desserts and fresh fruit served amid family conversation. Here, Art Deco is not ostentatious but measured and disciplined; the lines reveal a modernist influence, yet remain rooted in European table traditions.The set could be displayed during intimate gatherings or family occasions, where
