Twelve for dinner? How very civilized.
This 75-piece Abert service brings Italian modernist flair to the table: broad, architectural handles with raised edges, softly squared spoon bowls, and generously curved knife blades. The interplay of brushed surfaces and reflective edges gives each setting a quiet sculptural presence.
The forks and spoons bear the Abert Nicrosil 18/12 mark, identifying stainless steel with 18% chromium and 12% nickel; the knife blades are marked Abert Inox. A handsome choice for a designer’s dining room, a memorable wedding gift, or anyone who believes good design belongs at breakfast, too.
The service comprises six pieces per setting, plus three serving utensils:
12 dinner forks
12 dinner knives
12 tablespoons
12 smaller forks
12 smaller knives
12 teaspoons
1 serving fork
1 serving spoon
1 ladle
Condition
Pre-owned condition, with visible surface scratches and scuffs consistent with use.
History of the Maker
Founded by Antonio Bertoli in Lumezzane, near Brescia, in 1929, Abert began by making brass cutlery by hand. The company introduced industrial production and automation in the 1960s, becoming part of Italy’s enduring tradition of bringing thoughtful design to everyday dining.
Ways to Use
Set against crisp white porcelain and linen for an architectural table, or pair with colorful ceramics for a more playful Italian mood. The clean lines also sit beautifully beside antique transferware.
For out of the box entertaining, use the teaspoons for individual chocolate pots or an affogato tasting, the smaller forks for an aperitivo spread, and the ladle for chilled gazpacho served in little cups. A generous gift for newlyweds, design lovers, or the host whose invitations everyone accepts.
