Wilkens August The Strong (August der Starke) Sterling Silver Flatware Collection
The Wilkens August The Strong Sterling Silver Flatware Collection, named in honor of August der Starke, reflects the understated elegance associated with the royal courts of Saxony and Poland. The pattern presents a plain, unembellished form enhanced by a gently contoured Chippendale-style handle, resulting in a design that is both refined and timeless. Its quiet simplicity allows the beauty of sterling silver and the skill of master craftsmanship to take center stage.
The silhouette is defined by soft curves, balanced proportions, and a graceful outline inspired by Chippendale design principles. Free of excessive ornamentation, the pattern achieves sophistication through subtle shaping and thoughtful modeling. The smooth, polished surfaces and understated profile give the collection a versatile presence that harmonizes with traditional, transitional, and contemporary table settings.
Each piece is handcrafted in Germany in premium 925 sterling silver. The careful shaping, precise finishing, and comfortable weight reflect the exceptional quality that has long distinguished the Wilkens workshop. The simplicity of the pattern highlights the purity of the material, creating flatware that is as pleasing in the hand as it is elegant on the table.
August The Strong appeals to those who appreciate classic design, noble restraint, and the enduring beauty of finely crafted sterling silver. Its graceful Chippendale-influenced form offers a dignified alternative to both highly ornate and strictly modern styles, making it suitable for daily use and for more formal occasions.
The Lanam Shop is pleased to offer the Wilkens August The Strong Sterling Silver Flatware Collection as individual pieces or complete sets, with complementary serving utensils also available. Personalized engraving may be applied upon request, creating meaningful heirlooms for generations to come.
