Old Thread (Alt-Faden) Silverplate Flatware Collection
Robbe & Berking
Makers of the finest ‘Silber’ since 1874, Robbe and Berking is a thriving precious metals producer. Under the larger umbrella of the ‘Robbe and Berking’ name, the Company has three main components: a precious metals design and manufacturing house, a precious metals commodities investment division, and a celebrated yacht yard where new boats are outfitted and old ones restored. The designs of Robbe and Berking are based on classic originals, often with a modern twist. Their sterling silver and silverplate is regarded as some of the finest in the world. Their ‘sterling’ reputation has literally earned them a place at the table at over 250 worldwide culinary hotspots—including 150 Michelin-star rated restaurants. Their work can also be found at five-star luxury hotels and resorts, private aircrafts, embassies, and royal palaces.
Characterized as “massive” plating, the silverplate standards of Robbe and Berking are the highest in the world. Plated to 150g (60 microns) the remarkably thick plating applied by the silversmiths at Robbe and Berking has a global patent. With most fine French silverplate between 90-120g, Robbe and Berking has them beat. The added silver coating increases the longevity of the piece and their patented application process further extends the life of the silver coating—perhaps that is why the decades-old Robbe and Berking silver service at Claridge’s in London still gleams beautifully.
To inquire about this piece, please call the silver department 1 (833) Lanam-33. The Lanam Shop is proud to work with Robbe and Berking. A specifications sheet is available, upon request. Engraving is available—please contact us to discuss potential options. Engraving is done by hand and may take days to weeks, depending on the complexity of the request. We are happy to arrange for a piece (or a full set) to be part of a wedding registry. These pieces are in-stock and will dispatch within one to two weeks.

Hollow Handle Pieces
Hollow Handle Pieces
Hollow handle is a term used to describe a standard method of flatware construction. These pieces have a sterling silver handle with an interior portion where a shafted piece is cemented secure — most knives and some large serving pieces use this construction method. Typically, the upper portion of the piece is made using 18/10 stainless steel or hardened steel if it is a knife blade.
