Nutcrackers and Mallets, in Nut Horn - TheRedshop

Discover elegance and efficiency in our vintage nutcracker set with mallets, a must-have for all but lovers. Step back in time with these one-of-a-kind pieces from the 1950s. The first mallet, dating from the 1950s, is a small hammer made of metal and bronze, with a 21.5 cm long walnut wood handle. Its timeless design combines robustness and refinement, offering a comfortable grip to break the toughest hulls. The second mallet is a work of art in itself. Entirely hand-forged in iron and adorned with carved and chiseled motifs, this horn mallet is 23.5 cm long. Its meticulous design ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to breaking the toughest hulls. To use these nutcrackers accurately, it is recommended to place them on an anvil. In some cases, the anvil could be integrated into a turned wooden dish, with a "mushroom" in its center to collect hull breaks. This antique dish, measuring 25 cm in diameter and 6.5 cm in height, is a functional and aesthetically pleasing addition to your kitchen. The necessary percussion and pressure are generated by screws, ensuring full control over the nut breaking process. These nutcrackers embody refined simplicity and have been the subject of many technical and aesthetic innovations over the years.

In areas where not cultivation is a tradition, these nutcrackers were once indispensable for preparing kernels during the long winter evenings. Whether with the traditional wooden mallet, characterized by its short handle and two different purling, or with the ornate horn mallet, you will appreciate the quality and efficiency of these handcrafted tools.

Available exclusively at TheRedshop, this vintage nutcracker set with mallets is a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of generations past. Add a touch of history to your kitchen and savor every moment of preparing your favorite nuts with these one-of-a-kind pieces.
