Storing silver cutlery correctly
Robbe & Berking silver cutlery is made to last and can be passed down over many generations. To enjoy the shine of your silver for as long as possible, Robbe & Berking offers a range of specialist products to store your silver cutlery. They protect the silver from becoming scratched or tarnished and allow it to be stored in style.
If you want to protect your silver from scratches and everyday damage, we recommend storing it in a Robbe & Berking cutlery bag or a Robbe & Berking cutlery case.
Remember though, you don't have to handle silver with kid gloves. Quite the opposite. Frequent or even daily use is highly recommended and the best protection against tarnishing. The fat in human skin actually inhibits the formation of sulphide, which is what triggers silver tarnishing.
Storing silver cutlery in a cutlery bag
Robbe & Berking cutlery bags protect silver cutlery from scratches, from humidity and from atmospheric pollutants (sulphides) which are responsible for silver tarnishing. The cutlery bags have the advantage of being extremely compact when rolled and can be used to store silver almost anywhere:
- Slip the cutlery into the appropriate pockets
- Fold over the upper part of the fabric once
- Roll up the bag from right to left
- Tie the bag closed with the ribbon
Robbe & Berking cutlery bags are hand-sewn in Germany by a local supplier and feature the usual high quality material you would expect from Robbe & Berking. Click here for an overview of all available styles and sizes.
Storing silver cutlery in a cutlery case
Robbe & Berking cutlery boxes are another storage option, offering each piece of cutlery its own special place. For solid wood canteens, Robbe & Berking offers the free service of customising the inserts to perfectly match your cutlery set. Robbe & Berking cutlery canteens are available in various designs for different sizes of cutlery sets. Click here to see all Robbe & Berking cutlery boxes.
Covering cloths are generally recommended for the silverware drawer, as they allow for less atmospheric exposure of the silver and can therefore also protect it from tarnishing. Simply place the covering cloth over your cutlery when stored in a canteen or a drawer, for instance. Robbe & Berking cover cloths are available in several sizes.
