The History of Silver Cutlery
Silver cutlery has undergone a fascinating development. Until the 17th century, people often carried their own spoon when traveling. It was only in the 18th and 19th centuries that the culture of elaborate dining emerged, where complete silver canteens became the ultimate status symbol of the bourgeoisie. Silversmiths designed iconic and timeless models. Think of the sleek Hollands Glad (Dutch Smooth), the royal Haags Lofje (Hague Fillet), or the richly decorated Rond Filet (Round Fillet). These designs have graced the most beautifully set tables for centuries.
What to look for when purchasing?
  • Silver Purity: Check if the cutlery is marked with a first grade (.925 Sterling) or second grade (.835) silver hallmark. This determines its purity and value.
  • Wear of the Tines: For forks, pay attention to the length and sharpness of the tines. Due to intensive use and polishing, these may have worn down over the centuries.
  • Knife Handles: Old knives often have a hollow handle filled with resin and a stainless steel blade. Check if the connection between the silver handle and the blade is still firmly attached.
