Description from the seller
Pair of Vintage Cocktail Sword and Olive Pick Sets – Toledo, Spain – Gilt Metal and Polychrome Enamel – Mid-20th Century
Refined and unusual pair of vintage Spanish sets of cocktail swords and olive picks, made in Toledo, a city renowned for its centuries-old tradition of sword-making and artistic metalworking.
Believed to date from the mid-20th century, these elegant bar accessories feature richly worked gilt metal, with ornamental engravings and polychrome decorations in shades of red, light blue, black, and ivory.
The pair includes two displays of different sizes: a larger one with a two-tier structure and a smaller one with a single tier.
Both feature elaborate shaped bases, turned central columns, and ornamental trays decorated with geometric and floral motifs inspired by Moorish art.
The blades of the swords are marked Toledo, attesting to their Spanish origin.
Each miniature sword reproduces a historical sword, with different types of grips, curved guards, cup-shaped hilts, and finely engraved blades.
The variety of shapes and attention to detail make these objects particularly decorative and appealing to collectors.
Originally conceived as elegant accessories for serving olives and garnishes with cocktails and aperitifs, they are now fascinating examples of mid-20th-century vintage barware.
Condition
Good overall vintage condition, with natural age patina, minor signs of use, and light oxidation, consistent with the age of the pieces.
The swords can be removed from their respective holders.
The photographs form an integral part of the description and accurately document the condition.
Origin: Toledo, Spain.
Period: believed to date from the 1950s–1970s.
Materials: gilt metal, silver-tone metal, and polychrome decoration.
Measurements: 11 and 15 cm high.
The two sets will be carefully packed, with the swords and more delicate parts individually protected.
Domestic and international shipping by tracked express courier.
