Toledo Spain Cocktail Sword Pick Set, 5 Swords & Brass Enamel Fan Stand, Mid-Century Barware Appetizer Skewers, Spanish Rapier Bullfighting.
The stand and the sword hilts are made of brass.
The colorful sections on the front of the fan are decorated with enamel (a colored glass paste fired onto the metal surface). The actual functional blades of the tiny swords are typically made of steel or a similar strong metal alloy, rather than brass, to keep them thin, rigid, and sharp enough to pierce food easily.
• The Holder: An ornate, miniature decorative brass fan with hand-painted or enameled floral and scrollwork details, marked with "TOLEDO" at the base.
• The Picks: A set of miniature metal rapier or sword-shaped cocktail skewers used for olives, citrus, or hors d'oeuvres.
• Origin: Crafted in Toledo, Spain, a city internationally renowned for its historical sword-making, metalwork, and damascene craft.
• Era: Mid-20th century (Mid-Century Modern barware)
