Hundreds of years ago, sugar was a rare commodity. It was literally worth its weight in gold and considered a luxury. Today, sugar is an integral part of our daily lives, but you can and should still enjoy and celebrate its sweet taste. The Alt-Faden sugar tongs by Robbe & Berking add sugar cubes or rock sugar to tea or coffee with a particularly stylish flourish. Served with a silver Robbe & Berking sugar bowl on a matching creamer and sugar tray, the result is a very special experience. At home or in a high-end restaurant.

Alt-Faden Collection

Experts can spot Alt-Faden by Robbe & Berking in an instant. The thread pattern of this design produced by Robbe & Berking originated around 1760, and Augsburg silversmithing with a single or double silver thread as a border dates back to a very early period. Experts recognise the thread repeated on the back and ending in a scallop shape as the distinctive signature of Robbe & Berking.
