Horn Pepper Mill with Brass Detail by Werkstätte Carl Auböck

Creator: Werkstätte Carl Auböck
Offered by: Original in Berlin

Description
This pepper mill by Carl Auböck translates a familiar tabletop tool into a compact sculptural form. Carved from polished natural horn, the body reads like a small monolith—tapered and slightly faceted—its surface animated by deep brown striations and pale, smoky veining unique to the material. A discreet brass collar and knurled metal fastener introduce a precise industrial note against the organic grain. In the hand, the object’s weight and gloss emphasize Auböck’s insistence on tactility: design as something handled daily, not simply admired. Equal parts utensil and object, it holds its own on a dining table or bar cart as a quiet piece of Austrian modernism. Vintage condition with wear consistent with age; light surface marks and patina to metal elements.
