Its only Junk, if it's not useful


Old style flatwear, otherwise referred to as cutlery, is sadly a thing of the past in most ‘modern’ homes.

Why have these beautiful pieces of silverware gone away?
There is nothing nicer than the look and feel of these bone handled knives, the curved rat’s tailed forks and spoons.

Is it that people are just lazy, and don’t want to have to wash up these pieces by hand. 
Really?? Is that true?
Or does the aesthetic of these flatware sets 
simply not suit the digital world and all that populates it stylistically?

 So, if you want to have a sense and connection to times past, go shopping in stores that recognises the joy of old things.  Things that have a history.  
Objects that were manufactured in times when built-in redundancy simply was not a possibility.
