Vintage Mother of Pearl & Brass Multi-Tool Set by Schildkraut

A beautifully made vintage multi-tool set by Schildkraut, housed in its original brass case lined with rich claret velvet. Inside, a collection of finely machined brass tools sit neatly in place, each designed to screw into the elegant faceted mother of pearl handle, giving the set both practicality and a jewellery-like quality.

Stamped “Genuine Mother of Pearl by Schildkraut”, this piece dates to the mid-20th century and reflects a time when even the most functional objects were crafted with care, longevity and beauty in mind. The cool, iridescent glow of the mother of pearl contrasts softly with the warm brass, while the velvet-lined case adds a sense of luxury to its use and storage.

Originally intended as a gentleman’s or lady’s personal tool or desk set, it would have lived in a drawer or writing desk, brought out for small, careful tasks. Today, it makes a striking practical & decorative object, a thoughtful gift, or a tactile piece for those who love beautifully made vintage tools.
