twenty-four french knives from the 1930s, presented in their two original cases made of burgundy imitation leather with gold stitching, lined with orange-gold satin and beige felt. A case, an atmosphere.

the stainless steel blades bear the oval hallmark 'as du trèfle / inoxydable', a guarantee of french quality. The turned wooden handles come in two shades—dark wood and light wood—framed by metal ferrules engraved with geometric and floral motifs so characteristic of art deco. The blackened metal hexagonal tips add an elegant finish to the set.

the warm patina of the handles and the slight wear on the cases attest to a life well-lived, in keeping with their age. The set weighs 2 kg for knives approximately 24 cm long.

perfect for setting a table with character or simply displaying a fragment of the french art of living from the 1930s. Ready to find its place in your home. See less
