An elegant and understated 12-piece mid-century modern cutlery set designed by Austrian architect and designer Oswald Haerdtl in 1958. The set consists of six knives and six forks, serving six people. Manufactured by Neuzeughammer Ambosswerk, a highly regarded Austrian cutlery manufacturer that collaborated with renowned designers such as Carl Auböck, Helmut Alder, and János Megyik. Known as breakfast or snack cutlery, the set was designed for casual dining. Crafted from polished stainless steel with warm, medium reddish-brown wooden handles, each piece features decorative brass rivets. The set is in very good vintage condition, showing only minor signs of wear, suggesting that it has seen little use. One knife has been resharpened, as shown in the photographs. Each piece is marked with the Amboss name and company logo.
Dimensions: 6.25 in. / 16 cm long. In our opinion, this is the most beautiful cutlery design ever produced by Amboss Neuzeughammer. It is also certainly among the rarest and most sought-after designs from the manufacturer. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
