Old Thread (Alt-Faden) Sterling Silver Flatware Collection
Old Thread (Alt-Faden) Sterling Silver Flatware Collection
Robbe & Berking
A signature Robbe & Berking sterling silver flatware design, the inspiration for Old Thread (Alt-Faden) originated in Augsburg in the 1760’s. Crafted using fine sterling silver, the Old Thread sterling flatware crafted by Robbe & Berking today preserves the heritage of the popular silverware form while adding a uniquely Robbe & Berking touch — this variation of the classic sterling pattern features a scallop shape, which repeats on both the back and end of the individual piece. Handcrafted in Germany, engraving is available, on request.

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.
