Item description
Historic Siam Brass Rosewood Flatware
There is
evidence to suggest the origins
of the Thai bronze flatware are back as far as the 1930s, based on the marking
“Siam,” as Thailand was officially known until 1939.
"Bronzeware" is unique flatware handmade by skilled craftsmen in Thailand, better known as
Siam in its history. Cast individually from glowing red molten bronze, each
piece is then ground to the proper shape and then polished to a mirror finish by
these patient craftsmen. The Rosewood handles are carefully shaped with the simplest
of tools and skillfully attached to the bronze stem.
Rosewood is
a brownish-red hardwood native to the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia. It is
referred to as “Rosewood,” because the fragrance of roses permeates the air
when the tree is cut to the ground. The wood is naturally water resistant
because of the resinous content of the fibers. Rosewood is also exceptionally
hard to nick or dent. In addition to these qualities Rosewood is perhaps one of
the world’s most beautifully grained woods and has long been used in the finest
and most expensive furniture and musical instruments.
It’s difficult
to tell who the maker is or the date of origin. Our best guess is that this
well-made set was an early production of the style in Thailand and was made
somewhere between 1930 and 1960. The sets were eventually made to sell to U.S.
Servicemen, who were stationed in Thailand.
Standard pieces on “Replacements” total $274, with all the unique pieces not found in addition.
