Edehlstal Rostfrei - Cutlery set (92) - Steel

Impressive 12-person stainless steel cutlery service, “Edelstahl Rostfrei” – Central European production

Extraordinary! and rare 12-person cutlery service made of Edelstahl Rostfrei stainless steel, a German-origin technical term indicating high-quality stainless steel.
This is not a brand, but a qualitative specification typical of the finest Central European productions (Germany / Austria) from the 1960s-70s, intended for high-end domestic use and hospitality.

The service stands out for its sober and elegant lines, proper ergonomics, and the good weight of the steel, features that ensure solidity, durability, and an excellent presence at the table. A coherent ensemble with the functional aesthetics of German design of the period, able to dialogue with both classical porcelain and modern appliances.
