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.

Königsspaten Collection in Sterling

Wilkens King Spade (Königsspaten) Sterling Silver Flatware Collection

The Wilkens King Spade Sterling Silver Flatware Collection, known in Germany as Königsspaten, is a quintessential example of early nineteenth-century Biedermeier design. Introduced in 1830, the pattern embodies the stylistic clarity and quiet refinement of the era, relying on the beauty of proportion, volume, and craftsmanship rather than decorative excess. It is regarded as one of the great classics of European table culture.

King Spade is distinguished by its extreme economy of ornamentation, allowing the strength and purity of its form to speak for itself. The handles display a confident silhouette with an emphasized fullness of material, creating a sense of permanence and sculptural presence. The seamless transitions and smooth, polished surfaces demonstrate the precision workmanship that has long defined the Wilkens workshop.

The design traces its lineage directly to the traditions of Martin Heinrich Wilkens, the founder of the Wilkens silversmithing dynasty. His emphasis on technical mastery, elegant restraint, and the intrinsic beauty of sterling silver is fully reflected in the King Spade pattern. Each piece is handcrafted in Germany in premium 925 sterling silver, with a striking weight and balance that underscore the pattern’s timeless character.

King Spade appeals to those who appreciate classical forms, historical authenticity, and the artistry of fine European silver. Its minimalist ornamentation and generous modeling make the pattern equally suitable for formal dining and daily use while preserving the dignity and character of its Biedermeier origins.

The Lanam Shop is pleased to offer the Wilkens King Spade Sterling Silver Flatware Collection in 925 sterling silver, along with pieces from the 150g solid silver plated Collector’s Edition. Personalized engraving is available upon request, allowing each piece to become a treasured heirloom.
