Bidspirit auction | Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian Style Teak

Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian Style Teak and Brass Nutcracker - This vintage lever-action nutcracker is designed in the Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian style, often associated with Swedish decorative arts from the 1950s and 1960s. The piece is constructed with two curved hardwood handles, identified as teak, which are joined at the pivot by a triangular brass hinge plate secured with three pins. The interior faces of the handles are fitted with inset, serrated brass plates designed to grip and crush nut shells. The wood features a polished medium-brown finish, and the brass components show a light natural patina. No maker's marks, signatures, or inscriptions are visible on the object. Length: 11.5 inches.
