The History

Carl Mertens
Maria Theresia
Archduchess
Maria
Theresia of Austria was
a princess from the
House of
Habsburg who reigned in
the middle of the 18th
century. She was the
sovereign of Austria,
Hungary, and Bohemia.
This made her the most
powerful ruler of her time
and much more powerful
than her husband. She
was also the driving
force
behind
the
conversion of the former
hunting
chateau
Schönbrunn in Vienna
into the synthesis of
Baroque
art
and
residential palace with
remarkable
Baroque
gardens we know today.
The intricate details on
this
vintage−style
cutlery service MARIA
THERESIA by CARL
MERTENS are true to
the original and reflect
this grand period in
Austrian and European
cultural history.

The
Palace
of
Versailles started out as
just another castle owned
by the French king in a
Paris suburb. It was not
until 1661 that it reached
the status it has retained
to this today when Louis
XIV
extended
and
converted it in the style
of the Baroque period.
Starting in the 17th
century, the best−known
castle in the world along
with the famous palace
gardens became the
model for a great many of
European princes after
which they erected they
own castles. It became a
UNESCO
World
Heritage Site in 1979.
CARL
MERTENS
named one of their most
precious Baroque−style
sets
of

VERSAILLES,
particularly because its
artful craftsmanship is a
reflection of the splendor
found in its role

Alt Faden
The
CARL
MERTENS
sample
0010 Alt Faden is a
beautifully
designed
cutlery service that is
both traditional and
timeless and rooted in
venerable blacksmithing
tradition.
Silver
blacksmiths in August
started to incorporate a
fine silver wire to form
the border of their
spade−shaper flatware.
This technique was
referred to as Alt Faden
or Augsburg
Faden. This flatware is
modelled after this type
of workmanship and
proves even today that
traditional shapes never
go out of style. Made
of
premium−grade
18/10 stainless steel,
this
flatware
fits
comfortably in your hand.

In 1889, a small group
of painters settled in
the small village of
Worpswede
near
Bremen. They founded
the artistic community
Worpswede.
Over the course
of the next four
decades,
an
increasing number
of artists joined
the community, in
effect forming a
second generation.
Between 1890 and
1925,
Worpswede
bridged the gap between
expressionism and the
early Bauhaus period.
This is the reason why
Carl Mertens named the
flatware model 1071,
which they designed in
1932, Worpswede, as
it merges traditional
shapes at the onset of
the
"modern
age"
without
adding
any
ornamentation.
Produced since 1932.

The

in the Italian region of
Tuscany, which hosts an
annual horse race named
PALIO with a tradition that
dates back 800 years.
The PALIO in Siena puts
a whole city and the entire
nation into a state of
excitement. Carl Mertens
has turned the PALIO into
a culinary event.. PALIO is
cutlery of the highest
quality. The consistency
found in its design and the
precision that is evident in
the way it is made elevate
this cutlery to a prominent
part of any cultivated
tableware.
The reddot award for
""High Design Quality"",
which it received back in in
1992 from the NRW
Design Centre in Essen,
provides evidence of the
high regard to which this
cutlery is held in the
business.
The
PALIO
series
boasts a total of 34
individual pieces including:
a cutlery service, dessert
cutlery and a gourmet
collection composed of:
oyster fork, an oyster

Certo
The CERTO cutlery service is flatware
that comes with a subtle design.
Deliberately reduced to the bare
essentials of welldesigned flatware, this
set represents a modern interpretation
of the design principles followed by the
Bauhaus style. This design makes this
flatware equally suited for use as
modern tableware or as a complement to
round off a stylish country house look.
A special highlight: Knife, form and
spoon all have the same length.

Güde: The Knife
THE KNIFE
Complete set
295 EUR
Even at first glance, it is clear that The Knife doesn’t have much in common with a conventional chef ’s knife. In fact,
its seemingly short handle and noticeably large blade with a very wide back, which can only be achieved in a forged
knife, are more reminiscent of a designer object. Nevertheless, as soon as you have actually worked with The Knife,
you will realise that this isn’t just an example of breathtaking beauty, but also, and above all, a kitchen tool boasting
unique handling. The Knife fits into your hand just like a professional chef holds a chef ’s knife, with your thumb and
index finger forming a "U" and safely grasping the blade while your middle finger ’parks itself’ comfortably in the
finely worked indentation at the back of the blade. The center of gravity therefore lies exactly in the palm of your
hand and enables fatigue−free cutting. The fact that the knife contains nothing but flowing lines and no disturbing
transitions automatically guarantees the right grasp and comfortable hand support at all times. Cooking with The
Knife really is more enjoyable than just looking at it!

Each Güde Damascus knife is individually
crafted from two types of carbon tool steel,
one tough and elastic, the other extremely
hard, which are hammer forged together and
folded over many times so that each knife
finally consists of over 300 layers of
steel. Forging knives of this traditional
"Random Pattern" Damascus may take up to
several days per knife and involves working
the steel under a 1.5 ton mechanical hammer
until each knife is forged to perfection. A
further fifty steps in the production process
are needed before each Güde Damascus
Knife is at last completed. Each of these
unique knives is individually fitted with grips
of the finest fossilized Desert Ironwood.
These knives are not stainless and must
neve be cleaned in a dishwasher.
