"Old Fiddle" cutlery, sterling silver by Robbe & Berking

The "Old Fiddle" cutlery from Robbe & Berking is a classic design. This popular cutlery design dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century. The design attained its zenith during the Biedermeier period. The cutlery’s distinctive feature is an almost horizontal shoulder and the elongated “spade”. The exceptional skill of the silversmith is shown in the expressive form of the “ears” beneath the bowl. The “spade ears” of this design demand a high level of skilled craftsmanship not possible with an automated grinding process. Consequently, all the work has to be done by hand, a detail that is typical for Robbe & Berking, as is the multi-faceted handle, which makes "Old Fiddle" so unique. The finish in (925) sterling silver guarantees a particularly high level of fine silver and is completely dishwashable.

The cutlery pictured is of (925) sterling silver. Below the table you will find the silverplated version of "Old Fiddle".

Robbe & Berking cutlery is dishwasher safe. Avoid using detergents containing citric acid and use dishwasher additives that are designed for use with dishwashers. Open the dishwasher immediately after the wash cycle has finished.

Important: Before first use and after each cleaning with a silver cleaning cloth and/or silver polish, the silver must be cleaned by hand with dishwashing liquid.

For hand washing, use a soft cloth or brush to avoid scratches.

However, due to the natural sulphur content in the air, this precious natural material will tarnish after a certain period of time. Slight discolouration can be removed with silver gloves or a silver cleaning cloth, while more severe discolouration can be removed with silver polish.

Avoid contact with eggs, citrus fruits and vinegar. Silver baths, bleach, aluminium foil and salt should not be used to clean silver.
