David Mellor Provençal Cutlery

The Provençal collection is designed for modern life and is fully dishwasher safe. While the brass rivets may develop a natural, subtle patina over time due to dishwasher use, this is a characteristic of the material and will not affect the structural integrity or performance of the cutlery.

The cutlery features an ergonomic, rounded design that feels substantial yet comfortable. The acetal resin handles provide a warm, tactile grip that balances well against the weight of the high-carbon stainless steel, making them feel sturdy and well-proportioned during use.

While the blades are made from high-quality stainless steel and are rust-resistant, it is best practice to avoid leaving them soaking in water for extended periods. Simply drying them after a dishwasher cycle will keep the finish looking its best for years.

Acetal resin is an exceptionally durable, industrial-grade material chosen specifically for its resistance to wear, heat, and impact. It maintains its deep black color and smooth finish even with daily use, making it far more resilient than standard plastic handles.

Yes, the Provençal design strikes a balance between rustic charm and refined modernism. Its 1970s-inspired aesthetic is versatile enough to complement a relaxed breakfast table while offering enough sophistication to anchor a formal dinner setting.
