Antique silver cutlery is not only a tool for dining, but also a reflection of the craftsmanship and food culture of the era in which it was made.
In this article, we will focus on handle patterns on antique cutlery, explaining their history and characteristics, from basic British patterns to decorative designs, and even patterns found in countries other than the UK, such as France and the US.

This time, I would like to talk about the precautions to take when caring for antique cutlery (forks, knives, etc.). After using antique cutlery for a meal or other occasion, wash it with a mild detergent and a soft sponge, and then wipe off any moisture thoroughly with a cloth.
When doing so, do not use a dishwasher, dryer, or boiling water.

Cutlery is Western tableware such as knives, forks, and spoons used for meals.

In particular, silver cutlery beautifully decorated by silversmiths is a symbol of wealth and is a representative item of antique silver.
