Jean-Claude

146 Pieces Cutlery / Flatware

Bronze, Rosewood

Artisanally Handcrafted by Different Ateliers and Distributed by "Jean Claude", Siam/Thailand, 1960s.

Elegance that reflects the global fascination with exotic materials and craftsmanship during that era, blending Western functional design with Southeast Asian artisanal traditions. The set is part of the mid-century modern movement, characterised by clean lines, functional aesthetics, and the use of contrasting.

While the exact manufacturer is not always specified, similar sets were produced by Siamese metalworkers who specialised in bronze and brass casting, often repurposing materials like decommissioned WWII ship metal for their creations. Some sources suggest these sets were made by artisans in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, where metalworking and wood craft traditions were strong.
