Description
A matched collection of twenty-two (22) vintage silver-plated three-tine cocktail, oyster, and pastry forks, manufactured by historic Dutch metalware firm Sola Fabrieken (Zeist, Netherlands) for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
Designed during the golden era of commercial jet travel, these utilitarian pieces balance mid-century minimalism with functional industrial design. Each fork features a slender, elongated stem counterbalanced by an expansive, flared three-tine head engineered for premium cabin dining service.
The handle terminals bear the crisp, incised KLM crown emblem, while the reverses are marked with the manufacturer's hallmark and continental silver-plate standard cartouche. A uniform service of this size offers distinct versatility across contemporary entertaining, from raw bar and seafood courses to tapas, charcuterie, and dessert service.
