Vintage Bronze and Rosewood Thai Flatware Service for 12

This is a comprehensive mid-century modern flatware set, characteristic of high-quality Siamese or Thai craftsmanship from the 1950s to 1970s. The set consists of multiple place settings and a diverse array of serving pieces, totaling over 50 individual items. The flatware is constructed from a polished golden-toned bronze alloy, which exhibits a warm, gold-like luster with minor surface oxidation consistent with age. Each piece features a dark rosewood or blackened wood handle, meticulously secured with decorative bronze ferrules and end-caps. The end-caps are typically embellished with traditional icons such as the Buddha or Goddess Thepanom. The collection includes dinner forks, salad forks, spoons, and knives, as well as specialized serving implements like a cake server, large ladle, carving knife, and various serving forks. The pieces are housed in a tiered, custom-fitted wooden chest lined with vibrant red velvet-like fabric. The interior of the lid maintains its original paper labels, indicating an authentic origin from a Thai retail establishment. Condition-wise, the wood appears mostly intact with occasional light scuffing, while the bronze demonstrates a developing patina and faint tarnish that could be restored through specialized polishing. This set represents a fusion of traditional Southeast Asian motifs with the functional elegance of 20th-century design.
