Reference price: 150,000 yen or more A masterpiece from the Italian brand Sambonet, now discontinued, that suits old-fashioned restaurants and old Western-style mansions. "SAMBONET (Sambonet)" The history of Sambonet, a leading Italian brand of flatware (cutlery) and kitchenware, began at the end of the 18th century with the nobleman Giuseppe Sambonet. Sambonet, who was also a goldsmith and silversmith, established a workshop in Vercelli, northern Italy, and worked on the restoration of cathedrals. In 1856, the second Giuseppe established the Sambonet company and supplied silverware to many nobles, such as the Duke of Genoa and the Count of Turin, and its high quality became known throughout Europe. Sambonet's excellent designs have received high praise, and some works by designers such as Gio Ponti are also housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. Sambonet cutlery is overwhelmingly supported by hotels and restaurants around the world. This fact demonstrates the good balance of design, quality, and price, as well as ease of use. Rare, extremely rare Because it is expensive and only top-class hotels or upper-class families can own it, it rarely appears on the market. The stainless steel dullness may be removable by polishing, etc., but I don't have the knowledge, so it remains as is. See photos. It can be said that it has a unique character that cannot be achieved with new products, so it may be fine as it is.
